Electrical Problem after changing batteries in 2016 Precept

[Dave Breiter]

I just changed out my two 12 volt batteries in my 2016 Precept and now none of my electrical devices are working, back up camera, heater, water heater, etc. I have checked fuses and all is fine. Is there some kind of reset for this process?

May be reversed battery terminals blew fuse, still under warranty?

Dave, I had the same exact thing happen and it's because Jayco uses black, red and white battery cables and it's easy to assume what is what after they are disconnected. Trace each cable to see where they go and then move cable(s) as necessary. I used electrical phase tape on my cables to clearly mark what cables are negative and which are positive I can post a photo in a few hours(I'm at work).

I always take a picture before changing batteries or doing other electrical work, just makes it easy to replicate how it was. Good Luck...remember logical has nothing to do with RV's

Good idea on picture just hooked up a PSW inverter.Its easier than you think to mix up just two wires!

Great idea on phase tape, make no mistakes then!Was in Harbor Freight was looking at that tape, should have bought some.

The black cable on the left (rear) of the right hand battery goes to the chassis ground - and the right (front) of the right battery goes to the solenoid +.

I need to get in here and clean! A little dirty from a 2400 mile trip.
