that's a great idea!

I did run through every fuse with a multimeter while they were in place .. and even pulled the ones I thought could be related .. but obviously .. I missed it somehow the first couple times lol . Anyway , thanks for the assistance. 😀 we will have ac for the beach this week so we are ecstatic.

In the wardrobe. One I had pulled out to test and check earlier but i swear it wasn't burned then ha. F5 ot f6 I think marked as bedroom ceiling fan.

Thanks so much everyone. New control board in the front fixed the communication issue and found a burned fuse I somehow missed the first 4 times. Chatted with Tom directly. Very helpful. Using the old dometic 5 button thermostat until the next issue!

Thanks! So there is a hidden rear thermostat? or are you saying on yours there is.. My single thermostat controls all 4 zones in ours. I believe i found the a/c control fuse, tied in with my bedroom ceiling fan and doorbell.. that fuse and all the other fuses are fine in my bedroom wardrobe panel, FRB and RRB. Good to know that the connections for the data /therm cables don't really matter. Thanks! So I THINK I have narrowed it down to either damaged front board or somehow the thermostat... I will check power going to the board either tonight or tomorrow.. Have downloaded and read and will re-read all those troubleshooting documents many many times as I go through each item this weekend. I do have one control board and a new Micro air thermostat on order as well to cover my bases (hopefully they arrive soon) Thanks guys so much.

Thanks. Mine has a molex as well. It does seem that I'm not getting 12 v to the 3amp fuse in the unit. I'll check the pins in the molex next. Will any rj12 phone cable work to test the thermostat directly at the unit? And how can you tell which port is the one for the thermostat. Both of them go into that sheathed bundle so I can't tell.

Thanks! I will check all that. Mine is the single thermostat. I checked all the fuses in my bedroom closet and those are all fine. Zero power to the thermostat . So I'm thinking I royally messed up the main control board in the front ac when I removed it to check/fix the phone connector port. As after that, is when I got no power to the thermostat at all. Will update as I troubleshoot. Thank you for the diagram. Also, would switching off the main battery cutoffs at my batteries cut off the 12v to the ac ? That plus disconnect from shore power should make sure things aren't hot right?

Hey guys. It's me again . I may have inadvertently fried either my control board in the front ac or the thermostat . I had turned off all the 120v breakers to the ac units and hit the battery disconnect in the coach ... but forgot to do the main disconnect at the battery. Front ac capacitor failed so was replacing it. Did not notice how tight the phone cable control wire was when re inserting the new capacitor and bent the ports and may have broken a pin. So I disconnected everything to re solder the connector. I saw a spark where the 3amp fuse is when it brushed up against a wire and the 3 amp fuse burned. I re soldered and put a new 3 amp fuse in and re connected everything. I now have no power at all to the inside thermostat . Thoughts? Thanks everyone. Of course I decide to do this 5 days before myrtle beach... if we can't get ac we probably will need to cancel as we need to be able to work from the rv and it will he too hot.

yes, I was somehow able to put it in incorrectly lol and it did light up the wrong filament for the brake... but the running light wouldn't work.

I'm assuming you've tried spinning the bulb 180 degrees in the socket? i had an issue with a jeep with the same bulb, the wrong filament turned on and it was sensitive to how the bulb was inserted into the socket.

Yes, We got Calyx last year on the top tier sustainer to get the mifi 5g hotspot as we needed the best device for two people working remotely on video calls. as a backup we also have the verizon mobile internet from FMCA. Obviously, your experience will vary as it depends on t-mobile/verizon towers but everywhere we were last year , both worked great, with t-mobile being faster than verizon 90% of the time.

@Les Hurdle for this generation dynasty I got mine on Amazon if you search ipcw Ford excursion or Econoline led tail lights.

@Rob Monda I got the same ipcw tails on our dynasty. Is yours the same where the brake and turn signal brightness differential between the normal running lights and brake lights is very minimal ? It is hard to tell when the brakes or turn signals are flashing when the normal running\head lights are on with ours. I'm trying to figure out if my wiring was plugged in backwards or something.

yes, the wet bay will turn on the heat exchanger all on it's own even if the inside thermostat is fully off with the aquahot on. No need for any zones to be on inside.

Thanks for the explanation.. I'll definitely run some tests with with everything off house wise, and see if wet bay still activates... It is odd to put a separate blower switch for the bathroom though if it's the only zone 4 heat exchanger.. but who knows why lol. 🙂 I'm assuming, the actual "comfort control" should be "ON" but all 4 zones "OFF" and the wet bay should still turn on if it drops below the set separate thermostat for the wet bay exchanger. Or can the "comfort control (thermostat in the hall) be fully "OFF" but as long as the aquahot is on, the wet bay should still work on it's own.. This thread is fortuitous as we are considering leaving just wet bay heat on while leaving the mh at families for 2.5 weeks before another trip... temps should be around 30 lows at night.

oo, that makes so much sense! i was like why is there a switch for just the bathroom fan.. lol Thanks. i'm going to test it out.

My 08 Dynasty squire is the same setup with the zones. I'll add that playing around with it , to your question about the aqhot L M H button in the kitchen turns on the fans in the kitchen slide on mine, but it is connected to ZONE 1 , the button light /fans will cycle with zone 1. Zone 4 , Bath furnace only, but the fan won't run on mine as i have another button labeled aquahot blower in my bathroom that needs to be on for the actual fan to cycle on/off with the thermostat. I have tested my basement sensor and it works to turn on the blower in the wet bay.. but haven't verified which zone needs to be on for the basement to be activated since all zones were set to furnace when i tested the basement.

found this on a transmission info sites: Description Allison 5th Generation Electronic Controls with closed loop adaptive shifts Shift Sequences [C = Converter mode (lockup clutch disengaged); l = lockup mode (lockup clutch engaged)] Option 1: 1C–[1l]–2C–2l–3l–4l–5l Option 2: 1C–[1l]–2C–2l–3l–4l–5l–6l

looks like 2003 + santiams actually had the 1998-2005 GMC Jimmy Headlights... (which i think were the same shape but slightly different reflector design as the gmc sonoma at the time... the s10's had split lights )

1997-2004 (W164) Mercedes ML headlights.. Looks like the santiam originally came with the 'pre-facelift" 1997-2001 model year headlights that were not projector... but the facelift 2002-2004 projector style may fit as well and probably will give out much better light output like what jmatusic posted above this. I'm assuming your coach does NOT have HID or Xenon bulbs in those assembly? you can get OEM replacements such as these: 2001 MERCEDES-BENZ ML320 3.2L V6 Headlamp Assembly | RockAuto These are the OEM facelift with projectors which is offered in both halogen and xenon, i DO NOT KNOW if the wiring is the same as the pre-facelift style.. 2002 MERCEDES-BENZ ML320 3.2L V6 Headlamp Assembly | RockAuto There are aftermarket options as well: https://www.carparts.com/headlight?&vehicle[cylinders]=6&vehicle[liter]=3.2&vehicle[submodel]=Base&vehicle[model]=ML320&vehicle[make]=Mercedes_Benz&vehicle[year]=2000 https://www.amazon.com/1998-2001-Mercedes-Projector-Headlights-Headlamp/dp/B07HMDSR17?th=1 Etc. Tail light assembly looks to be pre-facelift 1998-1999 ford ranger,, in 2000 they updated the amber turn to red.. but it should still fit. 1998 FORD RANGER 3.0L V6 Tail Lamp Assembly | RockAuto https://www.amazon.com/98-ford-ranger-taillights/s?k=98+ford+ranger+taillights

The tail lights on the 05 executive looks like it is from a 1998-2002 lincoln navigator and monaco did use aftermarket ones at the time.... I don't think the original ones are sold anywhere but other either factory or other 3rd party aftermarket assemblies should work just fine different design but should have the same plugs/lightbulbs etc . Such as : https://www.tunersdepot.com/1999-lincoln-navigator-tail-lights-altezza-style/ks-altezza-tail-lights-9916.html or https://www.andysautosport.com/products/anzo__211109.html

Searched but haven't seen any relevant threads... I'm sure it's a easy fix, but when we slide our generator in, the cables/hoses that connect to the generator sit on the generator exhaust, we have to crawl under while it's being slid in and route the cables above a crossmember to keep it from melting on the exhaust... How are these lines held up to prevent this? Have tried zip tying them but obviously can't zip tie them in a way that prevents it from being slid out...

EDIT:: Just saw the previous post from @LakeBob about the parts list that has them all listed that's awesome. most motorhomes have headlights/tailights from existing cars/trucks.. it's a fun game we have to figure out where they are from.. obviously some are just standard 3rd party lights that are DOT approved for trailers/projectors but most are from another vehicle... I haven't seen a list anywhere and was thinking it would be fun to make a app that tries to pull all that data into to search.. some examples for monacos on the top of my head. 05-11 camelot has buick century headlights, taillights from first generation 93-98 jeep grand cherokee.. 03-04 camelot has ~2000-2006 suburban/silverado/tahoe headlights, red taillights were from old 80's gmc c/k trucks ambers were the same but with amber lenses 05-10 signature has 03-06 ford expedition headlights, taillights from 04-07 chevy silverado 06-11 dynasty has 05-06 ford excursion/f250 headlights, and ford excursion/E-series van taillights. etc. most of monaco's are from other vehicles.. I can try and help find anyone else who is trying to figure out which light assembly is on their coach if it is sourced from another vehicle. partners parents fleetwood revolution is ford contour headlights... the newer revolutions used first gen lexus rx headlights.. lol.

This is great!! we are needing to tackle our upper roof radius beltline so this is perfect timing.

I'll definitely update once we get it back together and driven to share.
