xantrex Inverter problem?

[subtroll]

After a 3 day service visit to a local RV dealer for some slide work, my Xantrex Freedom 458 2 KW inverter is malfunctioning. Probably not related to the service visit. When plugged into my home 50 amp outlet or when my generator is running, the LED's on the display panel blink non-stop and dance around. The ones that would normally be on steady are flashing alternately. On the inverter itself the inverter LED is blinking and the charging LED is on steady green. My inverter/charger is 13 years old no longer under warranty and has been in continuous service.

My batteries are charging and I seem to have AC even when the external AC is disconnected. Emailed my problem to Xantrex customer support but won't hear back until after the weekend. I recall replacing a low amp control fuse several years ago but had different symptoms.

Any suggestions how to proceed?

UNPLUG 120 power to the RV. DISCONNECT the 12 volt POSITIVE cable to the Inverter for 10 minutes. Reconnect, the error should go away. Doug
