SilvrT Posted July 11, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2012 Dumb things we do .... I'd wired up my Trailer Isolator and realized I'd wired it to the Aux fuse block I'd installed, which is only live when the key is turned on. Now, the Isolator is supposed to be wired direct to the battery so ... I disconnected it, patched in an in-line fuse, and hooked it to the battery. Then I tested the power connector to the trailer .... NO POWER on any of the connections (run, brake, turn)... WHAT??? I fussed with that for a while, checking this and that ... couldn't understand why no power.... and then it HIT ME ... ! ... I connected the wire to the negative post on the battery :rotfl:!!!

SilvrT Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted July 11, 2012 Point to note... I'd originally wired the Isolator a week ago and it was working fine so that's why, when I wired it direct to the battery I couldn't understand why there was no power. I told Nina about it and she was nice enough to pretend it was funny .... and then she said "what's a negative post?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_One Posted July 11, 2012 Share #6 Posted July 11, 2012 I think it's safe to say we've all had those moments at one time or other. I know that while I've had my share of them I can't (won't ) say specifically what they were now. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
