Happy Thanksgiving to all,
I just installed a Progressive Dynamics converter and my house and coach batteries are not charging. I left the isolator in and installed a combiner.
Just checking to see if anyone may know what I may have overlooked, electric is not my forte.
Thanks all and everyone have a very happy Thanksgiving,

Jon,
I will be doing that, just thought someone may know the obvious.
I have a multi meter, but I really did like your volt meter and just bought it on amazon based on you recommendation. It looks pretty nifty.
Take care,

Easy things to check are connections. And the volt meter is what will tell you where problem is.
What model?

Even with no meter you can do the first logical test by confirming 125VAC supply to the converter. Unplug the converter and plug a table lamp or such into the receptacle to confirm power. If yes the plug converter back into AC and eventually meter output for 13.4-14.2 VDC. With a meter you can also pull all the fuses in the converter and test for continuity.

When mine quit charging the culprit was one of the fuses in the converter. Luckily my converter had the fuses with the LED indicators that light if blown, so it was easy to spot the problem.
