Hi Mike. I used an Ideal tester through part of my career. With the Ideal, correct wiring would be the outside lights lit. I’ve subsequently purchased other brands that had different light configurations as well. In the end I reference the example on the side of the tester as opposed to memorizing the configuration. Thanks for showing the Southwire examples. Thanks for helping all of us to better understand electricity and RV’s.
I had one recently that has left me puzzled. I had all lights lit and that does not show on the cheat sheet. Some research on my end shows a possible high resistance connection but am unsure how to proceed for further testing. I am quite comfortable with working on AC wiring. Fortunately, the next plug in the parking lot showed the correct lights. I checked the rest of the plugs and had all lights lit for 7 of the 8 parking lot block heater plug ins. Any advice you can give Mike would be appreciated.
