Family radios not charging?

[Magumba]

Hi,
We've owned our 03 Suncruiser for a few months now. I noticed recently that the family radios are all dead. I changed the batteries of on of the radios and installed new rechargable batteries in October.
None of the 12 V circuit brakers are popped.
Any ideas? Thanks for your ideas.

Try cleaning the electrical connections for the batteries in the radios and the charger with a pencil eraser. They sometimes get corrosion on them that isn't noticeable without a close look.
Good Luck, Indiana Journey

Are you referring to the built-in charger station and radios?

If so, do you get the red or green (charging or charged) lights when you insert a radio?

If not, probably no power. Unscrew the four screws in the bezel and remove the charger unit and check for an inline fuse in the 12v wire.

I had to replace it on mine when it stopped charging.

I went thru two charger stations before mine worked properly. That was about six years ago, and the four radios have worked fine ever since. I use them all the time in my job.

Yes I'm refering to the built in radios. Inline fuse, tricky I never thought of that. No I don't remember seeing a charge lights. I tried to check the charge voltage and the meter read zero, I thought there might be a switch built in the door and the circuit was open when door was open.
I'll check it out tomorrow when I'm off.
Thanks for your help.

Guys,
Well I pulled the charger unit out last night. The fuse holder was broken and the fuse was AWOL. So I replace the fuse holder and fuse and now the unit charges the radios.
Thanks for the help. Camp safely.

Had a Suncruiser with this equipment for two years and the little radios never charged.
