Battery Replacement

I just replaced 4 Interstate 6v batteries in my 2016 Voltage 3600. Low voltage problems but had some power before. I will swear I did it correctly with routing of cables and terminal connections, numerous pictures, drawings, numbering etc. Now the coach is 100% DOA of 12 volt DC power, ok when plugged into house. Checked fuse box in side rig, tripped all breakers. I'm so PO' d because I'm so sure I didn't cause it from mis-install, but alas yes it's possible I guess, but I'm hoping for a reset of some type that I don't know about??????
BTW FYI that's a real SOB of a job getting those heavy ass batteries out and the new ones back in let alone the stress of correct install. Would GREATLY appreciate a helping hand in the latest RV ownership adventure known as WTF do I do now ?

If you have had reverse polarity at any bbn point the fuse on the converter will blow and you will not have any power when the converter is on.

Troubleshooting:

Follow logical troubleshooting procedures. Measure the voltage at the battery terminals. 13.3 volts or higher means charger is connected and working. Probably 13.6 volts. 13.0 volts or lower means no charging. Probably 12.7 volts or lower.


Measure the voltage at the 12 volt service fuse box. First when on shore power, then without. If no voltage without, then fault is between batteries and fuse panel.


Continue testing until fault is isolated.


I wish you good luck and happy trails ahead!
