Ok.  I have done what you said.  Battery is hooked up right.  No power to the pump but I have power to the lights.  No power to the display either.  It use to light up.  The clicking sound must be part of this.

Do you mean the CONVERTER?

The clippers were not installed with inverters, so if you have one, it was added aftermarket.

The CONverter takes 120v electrical from a generator or shore power and converts it to 12v to power the lights, water pump, etc and charge the battery.

An INverter takes 12v electricity from the battery and inverts it to 120v to run household plug-in appliances.

Next question, do you have the battery hooked up correctly?  Make sure the positive wire from the converter is to the positive post of the battery, etc.  Those old wires aren't always color coded properly.

Does the clicking happen only when you are plugged into shore power?  If so, it's most likely a problem with the converter.  Use a multimeter to check the power going into the converter, out of the converter and into the battery.  You will most likely see a discrepancy there.

If the clicking is happening when you're not plugged in to shore power, and the battery is hooked up correctly, then check the circuit breakers and fuses.  If all are good, use the multimeter to check the power going in to each and out of each.

If power is going in and out of the breakers and fuses fine, then you will want to start checking the lines going from the fuses to the various items (lights, water pump, A/C, etc.  The lights should run one to the next, so check each one at the in line and out line.

Hello.  My clipper has been sitting five years.   It runs.  Only problem is the rats got in.  Now when I install a fresh cabin battery.  There is a constant clicking sound, near the invertor, transformer box.   Must be a short somewhere I don't know where to begin.

Congrats and welcome!

The 440 has a tendency to overheat and/or get vapor lock so be sure to check out the tech section for ideas to resolve those issues.

Thanks to everybody who has checked in on this propane line replacement.
What I should have made more clear in the beginning is that this is for the dual fuel system for the engine, LP gas/gasoline. It's all in the wording.
So far I have been in touch with Blue Star gas in Santa Rosa, they are going to look at it and see what they can do. I will check in with Suburban Propane as well.
As I get this sorted out, I will give a full and usable report back.

Long live the Clippers!
