Thanks Paul. It was because of you that I started looking at the right places. There is always a first :). The quality of wiring is terrible and no labeling or map of how things are wired. I also think many appliances aren’t well protected based on how things are wired. But I have learnt so much...

Update! I just got the relays from Oreily and everything is working fine now but I will replace the relays with the Victron BP as soon as it arrives. Both relays were apparently dead (stock one in my hand). Thanks for all your help.

Hi Paul, I did all the above and I do get 0 Ohms on the black wires to the ground bus. Checked both if them. Also all corresponding pins have 13v. The control panel still won't get power through these relays. Not sure what that means but I checked resistance on the relays as well and don't get...

I did actually check the relay pins after taking off connectors. They have dc. I need to do the backtracking to the bus bar with black wires. I will report on this tomorrow. Thanks again.

Tha Thanks Paul. I will check this tomorrow. If not I will just get rid of the relays and use a 50 amp switch instead. It seems like too much hassle and not much use in drawing power all the time with these relays. I appreciate your help! Thank you!

Update! I disconnected the 7AG from the breaker and reconnected. Now has power and was able to connect it directly to mains switch and everything turned on. But when I connect it to the relay it doesn’t power the control panel. Does that mean the relay has gone bad? Thanks.

Hi Paul, This cable doesn’t seem to have power at the control panel end but has power at the breaker. I am wondering if there is anything in the middle somewhere that’s broke or the wire itself has gone bad? What do you reckon? when I feed the pump line to the main switch everything works...

Is is the one on the control panel breaker in the battery compartment?

Ok then I was doing it wrong. I took the tape off of the other one and that cable has no power. See attached pic. It’s labeled yellow 20e on it. Does this mean that battery connection is bad? I see that wire on the battery terminal. Thanks

Hi again, i found the problem it’s this wire labeled N20a which I have no idea what it means (attached pic) that goes to the main switch that doesn’t have power but it says 14AWG I tried to backtrack to the battery and I can’t see any wire that’s 14AWG all small ones are 12AWG. I tried using...

Thank you so much. I will do this today. It may be that the relay itself is not working so I will check the resistance on them as well. Thanks for the tips regarding where to put the multimeter. I have turned off the battery and the stair doesn’t work work so that’s confirmed. When I do turn off...

Exactly what I am thinking. On the bright side once I find it I will have much better knowledge of the wiring.

I tested it with the generator and I have never used shore power since I got this camper.

Yeah that was the first thing I checked and it is working fine.

Yeah that’s possible. I am checking all wiring but it’s so difficult without a wiring diagram. Even BS has no idea how it’s wired. So far I have not found a broken wire or connector.

Exactly the dealer and the black series US both suck. They are telling me it’s the control panel. It can’t be because all that the control panel has is breakers on it with the shunt. I am trying to find the hidden breaker as you mentioned but so far no luck. Also I disconnected and reconnected...

Hello Black Series fam, I am an HQ 17 owner and was recently camping when all of a sudden all the lights went out along with the control panel displays. Little bit later realized that furnace, water heater, fridge weren’t working either but the water pumps (drinking and general) along with the...

Hi HQers, New here. It’s been great to read all the posts here to get more inside information on the Black Series HQ models. Both good and bad! I am taking delivery of the 2021 HQ17 over the next few days and plan to tow it with the 2021 Defender 110 HSE which has a towing capacity of ~8,201...
