Greetings one and all,
If one is plugged into shore power do the 12v lights work without a battery connected?

Just want to know.  I have a cut off switch on my battery and if in the off position the lights do not work while plugged into shore power.Confused
TIA

Yes they do.
If you want something done right, do it yourself!

So the lights should work with out a battery or if the battery is in the off position.

Yes the 12v charger will run the lights, battery or not.

Thanks all.
Turns out I had blown a couple fuses when I re installed the battery. 
All working good now.

If you reverse the battery connections, even for a spark moment, fuses will blow. Glad you found the problem.
