Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Isolation Fault Protection
The accessory AC/DC power control module contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). GFCI monitors the 110 volt AC circuit for the following conditions:
- The hot circuit or the neutral circuit becomes shorted to the vehicle chassis ground
- The current flow through the hot circuit and the neutral circuit differs from each other by greater than 6 mA
If either of the above conditions is detected, the accessory AC/DC power control module will turn OFF. The module remains OFF, until the AC powered device is unplugged from the outlet, and then plugged into the outlet after a 3 second delay.
