Microwave/AC not kicking on (Onan 2000) | Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 64 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Feb 2012 Posts: 64 | Hey guys, thanks for checking my post.
Key facts -1990 Dodge B350 Xplorer conversion -Radio stopped working 3 days before the Microwave stopped working -Just changed the oil in the generator. -Was out exploring around Sedona, AZ and did a little off roading, very bumpy -Worked just after changing oil -4-5k in elevation -all breakers and fuses fine (Is there another fuse box besides the one in the glove box?)
The generator starts and runs fine. It almost seams to me that the switch that allows the microwave and AC to work after the generator has ran for a while no longer works.
Any ideas guys. I know nothing about electronics.

They can loosen even in a non-vibration environment... At the Space Command radars I worked at, we actually shut down our entire radar systems for one day each year to allow the Facilities personnel to go through the switch gear and every breaker box to torque each terminal to the manufacturer's specs. There were always a few which had loosened.
I even check the breakers in my house every couple of years. Over the years I've only found a couple which had loosened, and they were on the highest current breakers, such as my electric range and air compressor.
