Topic: 12v does not work, but then magic happens when I start the generator?  (Read 2491 times) previous topic - next topic

Any idea why when I start the generator and turn it off the 12 V power supply would come back to life but then if I turn the power master switch off and turn it back on the 12 V supply does not work. However if I restart the generator or plug it in the 12 V will work when I unplug it or turn the generator off. Is this a bad power supply ?

2021 Unity TB. This just happened all of the sudden and just seems odd. Would this part still be under warranty?

I went and got a new transfer switch for $60 and I will try that. I will report back so someday it can help others. I really appreciate all the input others gave on this topic??

I have a similar problem. Inverter will not come on after battery disconnect switch is turned on. The remote panel is in a loop with 10 seconds and 5 seconds off. Hope your transfer switch works for you. I'll be standing by for results.

Thanks

Good news!! $65 for the Transfer Switch and about 30 minutes of time and it is fixed. It was under warranty but sometimes easier and faster to just do yourself.

Try turning on generator or plug in power and then unplug or turn off generator and if 12v works then bit  it if you power 12v off and then back on it is definitely the transfer switch. I may buy an extra to set on the shelf for backup like magnets for the LP tanks of the valve fails which I hear they do often.

Great News. Do you have a model or part number you could pass along. Sounds like it's just what I need to fix my problem.

Thanks

It on on the switch. Go online and you will find right away.  Not sure all LTVs are the same so I would look on your unit. Very easy to replace.
