I am modding a window air conditioner LG LW8016ER to use on my RV as a roof air.
Let me start with I know little about electronics. The AC has 2 circuit boards, one appears to be a power board and the other is the control panel board. I extended the wires from the control box to the control/display board about 6 feet using 22 ga stranded low voltage wire. The harnees I cut into to do this has 11 very fine wires I do not know the gauge. The wires on the ac end are soldered and shrink wrapped. The wires to the panel need to be fished through so they are simply twisted together. I have tested this multiple times as I progressed and it has worked as it should.
I was ready to buckle this up call it a sucess and install it and it has went dead! I have power to the unit, the fuse is good and a non contact tester tells me there is power to the control panel, but it does nothing, the led lights are not lit.
