Eagle Electrical Problem

[GaryMc]

The electrical system in my week old eagle is not functioning properly... The aux. batt. is fully charged but when I pull the red knob everything works for a moment and then the separator clunks and the power shuts down and then not even the batterey monitor works. Everything is just dead.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

What type of separator do you have? It sounds like maybe you have a short somewhere and that triggers the fuse.

It looks like he already figured it out.

"So, it turns out that the negative battery cable 15A fuse was toast, I only thought there was one on the positive cable.
I'm not sure why the fuse was blown though.... I replaced it and everything seems to be good to go, power works fine. I am concerned about dealing with this in the field though."
