Is you battery charged?
 
There is no switch for the 12v, you either do, or do not have 12v available.

If you are plugged into shore power then you should have 12v available via the converter, along with 120v, of course.

BTW, this was purchased new, or used?

If you have the pod at home, you can use an adapter to plug your shore cable into a heavy extension cord and then into a regular wall outlet in the garage etc.As long as you don't turn on the microwave a/c and water heater at the same time, it should be ok. This should allow the converter to charge your battery. If your battery is completely dead, it will take a while.

BUT it seems strange that a pod came from the dealer with a dead battery.. did you get a walk through at delivery? If so, did the stuff all work then?

Bob,

If you can, check the battery right at the battery terminals. If it's dead, try the recharge mentioned above. If the battery checks greater than 12 volts check the converter. The converter has two large fuses to protect against reverse connection. If the battery was connected backwards, even for an instant during installation, the fuses will be blown and the battery will neither charge nor discharge. The FR color coding is confusing to some so it may have been hooked up wrong at some time. That's what walk-throughs are for.

Check the battery cables at the battery.  They can look good but they might need cleaning and tightening down.  Check the other ends of the cables.  Sometimes wiggling the cables will get things to work temporarily.  If that does any good clean and tighten the cables all around.  Could be anything, but check the simple stuff first.

TT

Bob, I'm curious.  Did you ask for a walk through?  Everytime we have visited Chilhowee they have talked about the walk through after the RV is selected.  Since we're negotiating with them now, I'm wondering why they didn't perform a walk through with you.
