UPDATE: problem solved!!! Turned out to be a battery disconnect at the batter box that has failed. Circumventing the battery disconnect the 12v side is working perfectly now.
Thank you all for the suggestions and advice. Since my TM is removely located, i didnt remember that was even on the battery box which is in front and exposed to weather and apparently failed and did not provide power to the TMs 12v side. When checking the fuse at first it was intact because the disconnect went first which i didnt catch at first and thought it was something worse. Anyway, all is working perfectly now. I guess the cart was put befor the horse here but am so glad that it tuened out to be something super simple rather than the other way around.
Thanks again to Wavery, Jagizzi and Rick who posted to help. Rick, your in depth posts are super and really helpful in getting an in depth understanding of the situation. Thanks so much! everyone!
