Will an Orion Isolated work with both the input and output ground being the same point?

Unit installed in my camper, not in truck engine compartment. Was using separate grounds and all was ok. Charged fine and bluetooth worked. Had to "common" the grounds due to tail light problems on my camper and now bluetooth light doesn't come on. Didn't have time to troubleshoot, so asking this questions before I do.

Thanks, Ralph

Hi @RgRVer,

having both, input and output ground connected to the common ground, is no problem.

Thanks very much @Stefanie! Now I will try to find the "real" problem. Probably something simple. :)
