I have an electrical issue with my 2005 Voyage. Both the front and back tv's and the vcr will not power on. I have reset the circuit breakers and that did not help. Any other suggestions as to what I could check. I have zero electrical acumen.

Look for a GFI in the kitchen and bathroom. Push the "TEST" button and then the "RESET" button. Then see if the TVs work.

If gfi is not the problem, check your inverter. There is a breaker on ours that caused both our tv's to lose power.

Are any other plugs not working? Check for a GFI popping off somewhere. I understand TV's won't work if ignition is on .... we'll asummmmm it's off!! When is the last time it worked? Have you done anything to your rig since then?? You are saying there is NO power to the units ..... not that your not getting a picture?

These things are all wired differently, but my inverter has nothing to do with A/C power unless I'm dry camping and not using the genny...then I'd turn on the inverter.

On my Fleetwood Excursion, all a/c power to plugs and lights goes through the inverter. The air conditioners do not go through my inverter. On my inverter, there are two resetable circuit breakers that trip every once in a while.

As charlysmom&dad suggested, you should check those breakers on your inverter. Good Luck!

Thanks forum friends. It was the breaker on the inverter. I had not thought about thar as it is something we rarely use.
