[C320-list] AC system problem

[pat reynolds]

On a related issue, I found my shore power cord disconnected and my number 1 battery run down to 11.5 volts due to my refrigeration.  When I plugged in, the 15 amp fuse for that battery in the panel kept blowing although the one for the # 2 battery was fine and the ac ran on that battery.  Pat Reynolds #249

   Greg - Immediately - like today - check the shore power cord female end
  and the outlet on the back of the boat for any melting or burning
  around either.  This sounds like it could be a short in one or the
  other that can lead to a fire. This commonly can occur if the shore
  power cord is not firmly twisted and then locked in place.  If
  either/or is/are burned, they would need to be replaced.  But your
  intermittent works/doesn't work leads me to believe that is the issue.

  I am having some issues with my AC system. While the breaker/switch on
  the main panel is on and the green indicator light is lit I am not
  getting any power to any of the AC systems i.e.:outlets, battery
  charger frig inverter etc. It also tends to trip the breaker on the
  shore power pedestal. After resetting the breaker and playing with the
  switch I can get power back but it usually doesn't last. My first
  choice is to replace the switch but I have not been able to locate one
  on Catalina direct or through any of the usual marine suppliers. Any
  suggestions on what the problem maybe or where I can find a replacement
  switch would be appreciated.
  Thanks
