The battery cable goes to this fuse and on the out side is the main DC cable going back to the converter, also there are things such as the nose jack, these items are protected by a 40amp fuse that has never popped. This 50 amp fuse continually pops effectively shutting down the DC system. As long as I have AC power connected or am connected to the truck the systems work. THis fuse has no reason for when it pops, sometimes it's day's sometimes hours. I have had back to the dealer several times where they can never find the problem, however because I paid for an extended warranty they charge me labor whenever they can't find the problem. Any ideas?
Could be the battery. If the battery was drawing too much amperage then that breaker will trip. Probably the main function of that breaker. Easy to check. Just take your battery in to a full service auto parts store and have it checked out.
