No 12V power?

Hey all, new to the forum here.

I’ve got a 2006 outback 26RLS and seem to have lost all 12V power. Went to go camping last night and nothing. I plugged the trailer in to 30amp and all that seemed to work was the microwave and power outlets. Today, I checked the battery with a multimeter and power was good there. There is no blown breakers at the panel inside the trailer. There is a little switch of some sort with what looks like a small button as well by the battery. Button won’t seem to push at all on it, says breaker something around the button, can’t read the whole thing. Could be part of my issue maybe?

Any suggestions where to go from here?

If it looks something like this, it's a 12 VDC circuit breaker. There should be two or three on the front bulkhead or on the A frame cross member. They protect then entire trailer DC system from a potential short or current overload that might damage the wiring or the battery.

I believe there is 2 for sure but wasn’t sure what they were. Also covered in a red rubber case. Will take a look today.

Thanks for the tip John!

Hey John,

I checked for power at both of those as I located them. Seems to be dead at that point. They are quite corroded. Think I should replace them?

You can try cleaning them but may not work. If it was me, I'd replace. But it's easy to spend other people's money...

IMO they are not worth the time spent trying to clean them.

If you are plugged in to AC power your converter should be supplying 12 volts for you even without the battery.
