So I wake up this morning to find none of my 12v appliances are working. I go to my solar controller and everything seems to be working fine. Indicator lights for the PV, batteries and the load all look fine (The solar panel indicator light may appear off in some of the photos because batteries are charged to 100% so the light will flash then). I cycles through some of the pages that show information on the load output but honestly I’m enough of a beginner to where I don’t know what they mean so hopefully someone can shed some light. I’ve checked all my fuses and I completely disconnected every wire and reattached them just to make sure everything was in order but still no power to the load.
One possible issue is that I thought it may be the ground wire and when I went to fix it it kind of got messed up so I reattached a new wire to the bolt attached to our frame (possible it’s not getting a perfect connection but I doubt this is it.) Another possible but unlikely situation is that I recently just replaced our water pump and when we leave the pump switch on on accident without using water the pump will severely overheat. I’m not sure if the pump was unintentionally left on or not. I stupidly do not have a fuse from the battery to the controller currently so who knows? The controller seems to be fine though there are no discolored or burnt areas, no alarming indicators or anything of the sort.
Here in the middle of the desert in Arizona after no issues for about 6 months and this all happens in the middle of the night a couple days after the last time we were driving so it’s not like any wires got knocked loose. Any troubleshooting ideas? Let me know if you need more pictures/ info. Thank you, sorry for the run on sentences!
