I would try the company called Trimark to see if your handle matches what they sell.

Drill a small hole directly under the location where the plunger is positioned. Then push a stiff object up through the hole to open the bay door.

You need to sort out the reason for the EMS showing that you are on 30-amp shore power if you are on 50-amp shore power first. I would not trust what the meter says or amps you are drawing until that is determined. Also, as others have stated, when on 50-amp shore power the amp display is blank.

Well, the Inverter was running because you had NO shore power. The first thing I would look at is the 50-15/20 amp adapter that you purchased. Those aren't always well made products. That is the only NEW device that you have entered into the problem assuming that everything worked properly on normal shore power previously.

The Block Heater runs ONLY when you are hooked to 120 VAC shore power or have the generator running. There should be a Block Heater Switch on the driver's side dashboard. At least that is where it is on my previous Windsor and current Dynasty has it on the main dashboard over to the left. You also have to make sure that the heater is plugged into the duplex in the engine bay AND have the Block Heater circuit breaker on. I would run the heater for at least 12-24 hours before attempting to start the engine. WRT the generator, just make sure that you prime the engine first really well by holding the start switch DOWN and then HOLD the start switch UP a long time until you hear the engine cranking. Hopefully it will start up once that happens.

Northwest RV Supply will either have a copy or make you one.

Your EMS display requires both 12 VDC power and 120 VAC power. The storage lights are 12 VDC power. So, I would start troubleshooting why you have no 12 VDC power FIRST. There are a myriad of reasons why, so you have to start at the batteries and work your way forward. Make sure you have a good working DVOM meter. Bad batteries Bad grounds Defective Battery Cut-Off Switch Defective Battery Isolator Relay Solenoid and the list goes on and on. Then for no 120 VAC power you have many places to look at. Bad power receptacle Bad power supply cord Bad transfer switch These are just a few of the reasons.

My previous Windsor had the optional Winter Package installed. That package was basically a System Heat switch which activated a set of tank heat pads located under each tank. It also powered up a circuit that goes to a Snap Disc located in the service bay that once the temperature in the bay reached its set point and closed the Snap Disc then the Road Pro 180 Watt Heater would turn on heating up the service bay until the temperature rose to the set point of the Snap Disc which would then turn off the heater. As the temperature fluctuated the heater would come on and off as needed.

Haven't heard from the OP in regard to the current status and answers to questions that have been posted.

If the Inverter never gets to the ON phase from Standby, I would suspect that none of his Inverter powered outlets are working.

Sure would help to know exactly what model Aqua-Hot you have. I am familiar with models 100-01, 431/12 that were/are in my Windsor and the now the 100-04 that is in my Dynasty. The first two have fuses on the inside of the Aqua-Hot just above a set of old fashion relays as depicted in a previous photo. The 100-04 has a separate control panel with LED's that light up. Haven't had time to completely go through the 100-04 as yet to understand it's system but taking it one step at a time. Right now it's working as it should, so I am still in the learning phase.

Gerald, When looking at all of the photos, Ivan's 2000 Sig switch is NOT a Carlings Technology, whereas yours on your 2002 Sig is. Funny thing is that it appears to be mounted upside down from the way the same switch was mounted in my previous 02 Windsor. The Carlings Technology Switch in the Windsor is mounted with the lamp at the top and to turn off you rock the switch to the bottom. Tom is correct, my current 06 Dynasty has a multiplex switch for the Aqua-Hot Diesel and Electric Assist. Much different than what was used in my Windsor. For whatever reason, it appears that Monaco installed a 3-position switch instead of a 2-position switch. No big deal! Not too beneficial for those that are not on Facebook.

Ivan, does that mean your switch is not a momentary in the ON position? It's only momentary in the OFF position?

They most likely ran out of the correct Carlings Technology two position switch and installed a three position switch. I suspect that both the middle and up positions are the same.

The telling statement that needs some troubleshooting is why the Inverter did not transfer over to ON from "standby". That tells me that you need to find out why the internal Inverter transfer switch is not switching from standby mode to inverter mode. You may have to disassemble the Inverter to find out why. Or call the Xantrex Freedom Inverter Technical support to ask them what they think.

Gene Howe, a member here, has owned two of them. The first one was installed in his 2003 Diplomat. The second one is installed in his current 2002 HR Imperial. Gene does not post much at all. He reads a lot but seldom posts. If anyone is interested, I would suggest contacting him directly through private message. He is located on the Puget Sound south of Seattle.

Maybe the term POS was a bit harsh but from my experience with having two Aqua-Hot systems in my 2002 Windsor, it has not been a blissful experience. Having the original AH (model 100-01) fail within 4 years of being in service is a bit too much to expect I guess, don't you think! Then, because Monaco decided it needed to be installed in the MIDDLE of the coach instead of near the opening of a bay door, there was no way I was able to do my own service or repairs. I did perform some repairs, but it was always having to contort my body into all sorts of positions just to get the job done. Then there is the exorbitant high cost of control boxes and mine required many. It seemed like I was having to buy a control box every year when service was performed @ just under $1000 each. I could go on and on about how much money I had spent on replacing, repairing and servicing the Aqua-Hot units in my Windsor. That single individual component of my Windsor was by far the BIGGEST nemesis of owning the coach for 18+ years. The replacement Aqua-Hot that was installed back in 2005 is model 431/12 which is basically the same as the 100-01 model that failed. The 06 Dynasty I now own has an Aqua-Hot model 100-04 and so far, it has been very reliable. However, if one day it decides to FAIL completely, well, trust me I won't be installing another rebuilt Aqua-Hot which nowadays has to be close to or even MORE than the price of a NEW Espar Comfort 16 Hydronic System.

Unless you intend on removing the Aqua-Hot unit to rebuild it yourself which will save you tons of money, my suggestion would be to scrap the POS and install an Espar Mobile Comfort Model 16 unit which is more powerful than any of the Aqua-Hot units. The overall size is smaller, 5-gallon boiler tank, easier to service yourself and has hot water on demand. There are many more advantages to the Espar unit versus being stuck with another failure prone Aqua-Hot unit. Here is the link to where my friend had his installed.

The eBay listing back last summer was under $300. He took my offer of $280 for the keypad. Obviously, inflation has affected the eBay market too.

Thanks, Rick, Mike and Todd. That's good to know. Mike, my running lights all flash when using the Key Fob like yours. So, I have now added to my "wish" list the project to modify the wiring harness of the Keypad to have the passenger side overhead lights light up when the entry door is unlocked. It will require a relay to be added like the installation instructions state and tapping into the correct wire coming from the keypad and the light switch. There are numerous ones not being used. It can't be that difficult!

Today I decided to work on replacing the defective Essex Keypad that my infamous "certified" inspector failed to test and identify during the useless inspection I had paid for in Utah prior to purchasing my Dynasty. I had ordered a new one from eBay last summertime but never took the time to install it until today. Got it installed and it works great! Programmed my new master code then tested it to make sure it worked which it did. I did have the set of keys in my pocket just in case it didn't. My question is this keypad is different than the one I installed on my previous Windsor. The bay door unlock button is #9 instead of #7. Also, whenever I used the keypad on the Windsor to open the entry door the driver's side courtesy light would come on for about 5 seconds then turn off. When unlocking the entry door on the Dynasty with the keypad there is no courtesy light that comes which is a real PITA! So, is there supposed to be a courtesy light that comes on in my Dynasty or did they do away with that feature due to the multiplex lighting in the coach? I don't see why they did not use the passenger overhead lights to use as the entry courtesy light as those lights are on a Carlings Technolgy switch on the passenger side console. Those are not [art of the multiplex system. Makes no sense to me but who am I to question what Monaco was thinking or better yet NOT thinking back then.

It allows you to have more than one location to turn the water pump on or off. The water pump usually has larger wires that can handle more amps so they normally have a HD relay that is located after the Intellitec Latching Controller which has smaller wires connected to it. When you turn on a water pump switch the latching controller activates power to the HD relay which then closes that relay to supply all the amps needed to power the water pump through the larger wires. Can't help you with the location as Monaco was so flaky when it came to their installations that it could be located anywhere. In the 02 Windsor and the 06 Dynasty that I now own the latching controllers are located near the water pumps generally in the very same compartments. Yours could be anywhere or maybe they didn't use one in the 02 Diplomat, don't know.

Steve, I have had multiple battery jumps, one for the Dynasty the following day after driving off the sales lot, and two other ones for two different cars. No problems whatsoever except the guy that showed up to jump my Cummins ISL 400 in the Dynasty didn't show up with enough amps to turn the engine over. He called his wife to come with bigger equipment and 20 minutes later they had the coach running. Frankly, I haven't had ANY problems or concerns with Coach-Net during the past 12 years that I have had them. I won't use anyone else. Maybe it's the quality of the service people they eventually find to take on the service call. I don't believe it is the people at Coach-Net. They always make a follow-up call to make sure the service was up to your expectations. So, there's your opportunity to express your dissatisfaction with the service company that took on the call. Possibly, Coach-Net would then take notice of service companies that are not providing the level of service that THEY expect and put them on their do not call blacklist.

Gary, if the wires to the water pump are not showing 12 VDC and the in-line fuse is good then back trace to the Intellitec Water Pump Latching Controller to make sure there is 12 VDC at that relay. If yes, there are also relay(s) involved after that latching relay, at least there are on my previous Windsor. Those have to be working correctly for the voltage to get to the pump. If there is no 12 VDC at the Intellitec Latching Controller, then it may be a fuse located in the house fuse panel that is generally located inside the coach. Possibly in the bedroom, at least that's where it is my Windsor. Attached is a photo of the latching relay.

They go in the coach on their sides or back so there should not be a problem. In the old days, they always said that once you stand the fridge upright, do not turn it on right away. Let it sit for about 12 hours or so then turn it on.
