Ace,  I can get one pretty quickly if it is for a 2017 R172.  My guess is every year and model are different.

Happy Traveling,

Does anyone have a print out or picture of the order of the fuses for the converter?

That was a head scratcher! Goes to show that one can't assume fuses are good.

UPDATE:
Problem Solved... Must read:
It was what appeared to be a good #6 fuse.  Change Fuse... Everything works.

Realize:
- #6 fuse was for slide out & Battery.
- Slide out worked on shore power that went through #6 fuse.  (Hum and double & triple Hummmmm).
- #6 Fault Indicator light... Did not go off.  (Hum).
- I got 12VDC reading on both side of the Fuse on Shore power.    But battery may have been connected... I can't remember after hundreds of tests in 4 days.

The tipoff came with shore power off, when I could read the battery voltage on one side and not the other.

If and when WFCO support finally returns my phone call from 3 days ago I will point out the Fuse Fault
indicator Fault.   

Lesson learned... trust nothing... especially the simple things, and in this case a Faulty Indicator light. But that still doesn't explain why the Slide out still worked.

Thanks everyone for jumping in here.

Only a couple of weeks with no sun... you lucky dogs... before the weather went wacky on us here in western WA due to climate change, we only got about 6 weeks of full sun a year... usually all at once.

Oh well.. the solar Panels will make nice conversation pieces around the camp fire. WinkLOLConfusedStarCry

Marv, I hear ya.  Shade is an issue in northern Michigan as well due to our proximity to the great lakes.  Not uncommon during fall - winter - early spring to go a couple weeks without seeing the sun, it decides to 'hibernate' just like a lot of the animals around here.  Not good for those who suffer from SAD, but things are looking better, snow is melting and temps got all the way up to +2 C today!
