I'm trying to install some cabin fans. ( https://www.westmarine.com/buy/caframo--sirocco-cabin-fans--P012_361_002_507 ). Amperage High: 0.31 Amps Medium: 0.24 Amps Low: 0.14 Amps
I wired it all up yesterday to my breaker panel and when trying to turn it on, nothing happened. I then took it off the wall and connected it directly to the battery, and it worked just fine. I then tried to connect to directly to the feed line of the breaker panel and it didn't work. I'm not an electrical expert but I would think connecting it the way I did to the breaker panel would not have a large voltage drop. I was using 16awg from the breaker to the mounting location. I might be a little low on the gauge of wire for that length I admit. That was my first guess. But connecting to the panel line feed directly still didn't do anything and that baffled me. Any ideas on what could be going wrong? The batteries are new last year. My battery meter was saying approx 70% charge capacity when doing all of this. The cabin lights and other electronics were working while I was trying to do this too. I'm at a complete loss here.
