Hey all, spent several hours working on getting the 12v side of my Shasta functional this afternoon. Got a good battery, untangled the wiring, got it hooked up, and now all the interior lights light up and the range hood fan and light work on battery power. Then I plugged in the converter, and it's still buzzing like it did before I got a battery. So, I check the voltage going to the battery, 13.5 volts, so the charging side of the converter is working...then I checked the voltage at circuits 1-3 and I've only got 6 volts. AND, the buzzing stops if I turn on a light. Wondering of one of the diodes went bad, if the buzzing is caused by a loose plate in the transformer, maybe someone else has had this problem and knows what it is? I'm thinking about disconnecting the three 12v supply wires one at a time and see if the buzzing stops, but the fuses are all good and with the converter unplugged and everything turned off, my meter doesn't show any current drain so I don't think there is a short anywhere. Bad ground, maybe? let me know what you think, thanks.
