Reviving this old topic. My new to me 02 Sig has a four piece Panasonic system, which I’m working to RIP. I’ve already replaced the old see vision with a completely separate camera system. Challenge, This system has a display screen unit and a nav unit in the front dash with a CD changer in an overhead cabinet. It also has a control unit… somewhere. In a place I haven’t found yet. The control unit appears to be amp and is what the speakers are wired to some need to find it. Any ideas on where it may be hidden would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ivan! I looked there and found a speaker, the block for the see vision thing that no longer exists and only floor.it looks like there could be room behind the drawer that seems to be in a metal box or maybe behind the entire console. How far did you have to disassemble?

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions here. For the first time, the touchpad on my new to me '02 Signature works! Continuing to work through the list of things that didn't or still don't work... which started as about everything. This forum has been extremely helpful. On with the next item - refrigerator!

There's a lot of good information here already. Looking at the generator picture and overall care of the electrical systems, run away. I owned a 99 Diplomat 38A bought new until last week when I traded it in on a slightly newer and in way worse shape Signature. The generator had just had a full Cummins service and ran like new and overall the coach is in great shape with Banks powerpack and new tires as well. If you have an interest, it is at Tom's Camperland in Tuscon. I'm happy to privately share their cost.

A few hints:

• Jump the house batteries from engine batteries as above with engine running. The battery boost does not help; it goes the other way supplying house battery power to engine batteries.
• Once house batteries have a bit of a charge, use a desulfating charger at least twice a year with batteries disconnected from coach. I have been able to get 10 years plus of battery life out of batteries on my many vehicles and even recover 15 year old batteries. That little desulfating gizmo has saved me literally thousands over the years. 
• On my coach I installed solar panels. One feeding the engine batteries and two feeding the house batteries. Amazing. Always fully charged. 

Good luck!
