Hey all,
Before I posted in the forum, I searched the battery topic and I never saw anything related to what I am experiencing.
Basically, when my 172 is plugged into shore power, my lights work fine. as soon as I disconnect the shore power, my lights dont work.. or anything that requires the battery power.. it's like the battery is not even there.
Also, shortly after I unplug shore power, there is an alarm inside the pod and I have located it to be coming from that grey colored unit just under the bathroom door and to the right a bit. It has an led on it and a flat type of switch button on it.. I think it is the CO detector. to silence the alarm I have to push the button.
Question, is there some sort of a relay switch somewhere that would switch over to the battery once the shore power is removed? perhaps this is gone bad?
when the pod is attached to shore power, is it supposed to charge the battery?
Also, when towing, would the TV charge the battery?
note: I fully charged the battery, aand also tested it when the shore power is disconnected and the lights are not working.. it is at 12.9VDC...
I have to dig deeper into this, but wanted to run it by the rpod guru's first, while I dig...
It certainly seems like a relay thing to me... (oh, all of my fuses are good in my panel, and no alarm lights lit for any of them either...
Thanks in advance for all of your help and suggestions..
