Coleman Model# 9223 Forced Air Furnace 12V Short

[James E Vining]

When I was testing the 12 V system of my Winne I found the heater Circuit gave me a dead short on the 12V side of the Coleman #9223 Forced air furnace, When I tested the 115 V Side it had no short ( I thought and according to my Power conditioner I have 120 V House current)
It states its primary Voltage is 12 V but has 115 V connections and shows that dual units can be ran either way depending on the switch setting.
Does anyone have any Idea where to start looking to see what could be causing the short on teh 12 V side? It may be nice to have teh ability to use 12 V or 115 V but if I am camping Of Grid I won't have access to 115 Voltage unless I install a Inverter, Which I could do but would like to use the 12 V system as it was intended if at all possible, I know this time of year heat is not so much needed but where I plan to go in a month the temp can get down pretty chilly and a heater would be a great asset.

Holy cow, I ended up pulling the Furnace out of the MH and boy does it have problems, No Ducts from the output , GO Figure, dead short on wire that runs the coil, as a matter of fact Both wires were melted together and then shorted to the pilot light tube. so I will replace those clean it up fix a few Items that are below my acceptability rating and see if  I can fire it up figure I might as well use the propane tank and doohickey I made to get fridge working and see if I can save a furnace too.
last thing will be to see if stove and Oven works  maybe I should pull it too seem to have good luck working on Items outside of MH.
