Title: Changing out the c 14 inlet
Post by: LDG on April 28, 2019, 05:12:10 AM

My 2013 ds lost a prong on the inlet so I need to replace.  I see that the 2013 has a different connection to the charger than 2014+. Can someone point me to a video or walk through how to safely change this out. Seems like a  simple swap but I don't see  a coupling to disconnect from charger so I'm a little confused

Any help is appreciated!

When I was asking about this a few months ago it appeared that the options for replacing it are:
1) Buy a new charge controller for several hundred dollars.
2) Buy a new connector for a few dollars and cut the wire and connect the new C-14 plug. You need to be mindful of making a connection that is weatherproof though.

I didn't realize that it wasn't hard wired.  It just clipped out and I clipped a new one in. I still have to add shrink rap to weather proof though.  Got the c14 and a new cord from a buddy so all it cost was beer!
