All your thoughts are great. Whether I've been logged in or not I've followed this board for a long time. All the main players are coming to my aid and I really appreciate it. I am going to go silent for a bit because I really can't do much until my engine is back where it should be living. I've done a lot of the tests you are all referring to. I've used the multimeter to track down a lot of information. How I Interpret that info is the problem because I am not very briefed on electricity as a whole. With that, I am feeling pretty certain that starting with a new Power Converter can't be a bad thing considering the cost isn't much when thinking about doing a whole interior rebuild. Those pictures were taken before I disconnected every single wire in my electrical setup, minus wires connected to the converter. I even disconnected my solar panels because I noticed a spark between the wires even after unwiring from the charge controller and the battery. So at this point, there isn't any electrical power source connected to anything. My plan is to hire an electrician. A friend. But a professional electrician and I will ask him to install my new converter and make sure all the DC wires going to any appliance, light, etc are working properly. Then my plan is to rebuild the interior. I have good money that I will get stuck along the way quite a few times and I will post about it as I go. Any input is welcome once that process is underway. I know it sucks to hire an electrician, but I am a Wildland Firefighter living in Arizona and my fire season is about to get underway. I live in my motorhome during the season and I rather just pay to get things right. I do as much as I can solo, but with electricity it Is probably worth it. I am through and through an enthusiast for these motorhomes and wish I had the time to learn it all myself. Thank you for such prompt attention. More to come... Thanks, Sam

This is the main thing that has me curious. I assume it goes to my car battery and it looks like it's melted.

Hey all, Thanks for the feedback. I attached a few photos of my setup in case it inspires any comments. I have a Voltmeter and have done some checks on and off over time. I bought a brand new water pump, so I sure hope it's not that. Full transparency, I am revisiting this after a very long time. My engine had problems and I am currently undergoing a rebuild of the engine. I figure now that I can hopefully depend on the engine, it's worth it to do some interior work. I am starting with the converter since almost none of my appliances/lights work. I can hook up to my inverter and run anything off AC through my solar, but the DC side is all screwed up. As I start this rebuild, I'm sure you'll be seeing many more posts from me. Love this forum, been watching it for a long time. Thanks, Sam

Hello, I've seen some good discussions on here regarding Converter issues. I was hoping for help... I am the owner of a 1986 Sunland Express with a solar system installed. The solar isn't the problem. Recently the Converter started making a bit of a buzzing noise. And certain wires worked to light up lights or other electronics and certain ones don't anymore, like my water pump. I've gone through the fuses and don't as much as my limited mind can do. I think I need to replace the converter. Anyone know of the proper converter replacement for the Underwriters Laboratory Model 6346 Converter and Battery Charger? I saw this link https://www.campingworld.com/wfco-45-amp-universal-replacement-kit-58357.html On another discussion regarding converters. Any links of model names would help me out a ton. Thanks, Sam
