Re: Need help diagnosing a problem

We have seen defective main (150A) circuit breakers that would open under high vibration, sometimes even popping open/off.

Lightly tapping on the breaker would sometimes replicate the problem.

One more thing to add to the check list.

We did discover something similar to this I believe, we could force a shut off by wiggling one of the connectors, another great catch by our CSA Alan, I have no idea what we would've done without him or people like him, thanks for the advice. Tomorrow we plan on testing all of the connections with a multimeter after some driving, I will post an update on our findings then.

Re: Need help diagnosing a problem

We had a similar problem and it turned out to be a defective power connector to the radio. Check that. It's an easy fix.
