Tmw188 in the last pic @ 6:00 u can see the burn / hole in the board this aligns with the neutral switching relay ! Cant say it fixed it yet with the new board in because i pulled the wiring harnesses and toned them front to back just to make sure no open and no short … getting them back in will be a challenge .. i have to revamp the routing .. shocked no issues since 2006 Things can be routed much better !

update . it seems the 458 freedom has an internal relay that switches Neutral on an off on the output side this is so Neutral is not hot all the time otherwise some things like washing the coach could be dangerous and a neutral back feed could cause a generator fail , so i ordered an ac board that has the Neutral switching relay in it , ( i could not source the relay alone quickly ) this is a 50/50 guess on my part but i have nothing else to go on , i did replace my new GFI as im told that some are not compatible like ones that have a lite as my new one does , the part number for the relay board is 70-0131-03T if anyone need it and tech support was excellent from PJ @ inverter service center in TN 800-621-1271 weather it fixes it or not the phone support was outstanding , i run a shop i know good and i know bad these folks are excellent ++++ hope this info helps some one thank you for pointing in the correct direction !

Freedom 458 , does anyone know if this unit switches neutral internally ? Unit ceased working 3 days ago … batteries went dead … new batteries … everything seemed fine , batt charge and invert fail in spite of no fault lights and panel looking and acting fine , i pulled and verified both internal .250 fuses were fine ! Seemed to have a bad gfi receptacle i also replaced in coach … Fast forward after 2 full days iso of An issue .. i found if i jump or join neutrals at the bus bar in the coach fuse panel then unit charges and inverts fine with no issues other then i know better and im in fear of a neutral feed back on 220 ! So do these switch neutral internally or am i really just searching for an open on neutral wire ? I toned all the wires every which way i may have missed something and i dont know AC at all i know DC some thank you for any help … ready to travel this week and …. Not ready yet ! T
