Thanks for the reply. When I checked the fuse panal, I put the red lead from the meter on pos post, and the black lead from the meter in the fuse slot, to get a +12.20 reading. Can anyone tell me where to check the ground?

The fuse box is on the side, just in front of the control box.

You're checking that wire, and voltage drop between the fuse slot and the positive post. You need to put the ground lead of the voltmeter to the ground post, then use the positive lead to probe the positive connections. This would be at the fuse panel, on each side of the switch with the switch turned on, and at the connection to the appliance. Most fuse panels also include a ground buss that you can put the meter ground on, but make sure that ground buss is connected to the ground of the battery. Hope this helps.
