This is awesome. I'm a programmer so this seems like it would make a fun, techy project to work on. Thanks for the info!

Consensus seems to be grounds, which I will check, clean and tighten as many as I can find. In the meantime, my BlueFire digital dash is accurate so this is all probably an annoyance rather than a serious issue.

Clean your GROUNDS!!!!

 

WHY ARE WE YELLING? LOL

Kind of a strange issue, when I turn the headlights on some of the dash gauges move. For example, the fuel gauge goes from 3/4 down to almost 1/2 when I pull the headlight switch, some but not all other gauges do the same, drop down to a lower reading. Any ideas where I can start when diagnosing this?

Did you determine whether you had the recall done on your fridge where they install a black box the detects high temps in the flue and if it senses high temps shuts down the fridge?

Yes, the recall has been done, it has the box and the high temp cutoff sensor in the flue.

You may have fixed your problem,  but on my 05 diplomate my 12 volt fused feed comes from a control board located on the back of the fridge. Go outside to the refer access panel, open and inside there is a black plastic cover (box). Take that cover off and you will see the fuse. Real treat to get to. Mine is located in the upper left behind the access panel. 

 

I did fix it by doing exactly this. Mine wasn't too bad to access but yes, I can see where if the access was any smaller it could be tough. Thanks for the tip.

Dane,

My 2002 Windsor has one fuse located in an overhead cabinet in the bedroom on a House fuse panel.

Then on the backside of the fridge itself there is a control board which has two fuses, one tubular Glass Fuse and one spade type 5 amp fuse. I have forgotten what thay are for but you may want to check those also.

Rad arrows point to the two fuses on the control board.

Sorry it's taken me a bit to update this thread, but the long and short of it is the fridge works again. Dr4Film was the winner, when I pulled the cover off the control board the 5A fuse was blown, I replaced it and all was good. I also located the main fuse in the rear run box, it was in the #5 fuse panel along with the AquaHot fuse, the label just had some gunk on it and was hard to read. So anyway, thanks to everyone, I'm new to pushers and am learning a lot thanks to this forum!

No comment in regards to the high temp black box? What is the status of that box??

High temp box is in place with no lights lit. There is no power coming to the 12v wire that is feeding it.

Our coach is years older but there still might be some similarity. Our Refer is on a breaker in D side RRB.

I looked in the rear run box but I still don't see a spot marked refer. I am at a loss, I refuse to believe that there isn't a marked and accessible fuse for the refrigerator on this coach. So weird.

So the whole refrigerator is dead, nothing showing on the inside panel, no power coming in on the 12v wire feeding the board on the back of the fridge, no fuses blown on the board, no lights lit up, no nothing. There is no fuse labeled for the refrigerator in the front run box under the drivers seat, nor the rear run box in the engine compartment. The wire is not shown or labeled anywhere in any of the probably 100 pages of wiring diagrams. This makes no sense.

I'm going to check the board on the back of the fridge right now, problem is I'm not getting 12v to the connection feeding the board, which is why I suspect a fuse back upstream somewhere, just can't find it.

Does your fridge not run off of the house breaker panel in the bedroom? That is where mine comes from

 

I can't tell really, there is no label for the refrigerator, the only thing close would be the galley lights/rope lights. I pulled the fuse panel off the wall and all the wires are white, not the color shown on the labels. Either way there are no blown fuses there, I pulled and checked them all. Maybe I'm just slow or missing something.

Not sure about the location on your rig, the 5 amp fuse is located in outside compartment under the drivers seat on my Holiday Rambler Endeavor,

I looked there and don't see anything other than mostly chassis fuses, nothing that explicitly says refer at least.

Hey everyone, I am having a fridge problem, naturally. We have a Norcold 1200, 4-door fridge, it has stopped cooling and there is no power going to the control panel. I have consulted my wiring diagram book and looked all over this thing trying to find a fuse and haven't been able to find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It's a 2004 Executive 42SBW if that makes any difference. Thanks!

Hey Ivan, my wife and I are from Birmingham AL and lived in DFW for a long time so we are experts on this route by necessity. The interstate, in general, is pretty good. There are some rough spots in Shreveport, Monroe and Jackson MS but for the most part it's an easy drive. I will say going through Birmingham, make sure you aren't hitting rush hour and go I-459 and bypass the city, traffic can be seriously bad. As far as Atlanta? All bets are off, traffic is a nightmare at all times, and there is not really a good way to get to I-75 south without going either I-285 or to I-75/85 south off I-20. If you are dead set on avoiding Atlanta I guess you could go I-65 South to Montgomery AL and then I-85 east to I-75 South although this is a pretty long detour. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much, just ordered from NW.

Hey everyone, my wife and I are brand new Monacoers, we have just picked up a beautiful 2004 Executive and love it so far. I noticed the other day that the lower striker bolt was missing from the entry door. I have tried a few from Amazon that looked like they would would work but none have. Does anyone know where I can source a replacement? Thanks so much!
