IEMan 1 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 All of the lights in the bathroom and the toilet room only stay on 1 to 3 minutes and then shut off. It is definitely annoying especially if you're taking a shower and the lights go out. We just got this coach last week and trying to figure out how everything works. Are these lights made to do that? and if so, is there a way to adjust the time? Thanks, Dave (In the Dark) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Welcome Dave in the dark, I like it, No that's not normal. I don't think mine does it but I turn the lights off to take a shower, just kidding. Is that the only lights that go off? There is a similar problem with Monacos where a switch by the door controlling a relay will malfunction but that usually kills all the 12v lights. The switch by the door is often referred to as the Salesman sw, salesman can flip the sw when leaving the coach killing all the lights. It's the relay/solenoid that usually malfunctions and most of us just bypass it, that solves the problem permanently Edited October 30, 2021 by Ray Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Dave L, Welcome to the most knowledgeable, helpful and best Monaco group on the Internet. You have come to the right place. Your coach has what they call a Multiplex Electrical system which consists of multiplex modules and a multiplex computer/brain. I am definitely not a multiplex guru as my 02 Windsor has all standard type Carling Technology analog type switches. I am just beginning to learn about the multiplex system as I have recently committed to purchasing a 2006 Monaco Dynasty. However, the most knowledgeable person that I know on multiplex systems is Frank McElroy who is also a member here. If he doesn't see this thread you may want to send him a private message seeking for his professional help. He will solve your problem so you will no longer be left "in the dark." Safe travels!

Ivylog Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Agree it sounds like a multiplex problem BUT I didn’t think a Dynasty got the multiplex system until 07. OP, do you have rocker switches or pads will buttons that light up when pressed? Congrats on a great coach having owned a 04 Dynasty for 14 years.

Dr4Film Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Dick, I just spent this past week going through a 2006 Dynasty and it most definitely had a house multiplex system. What it doesn't have is a chassis multiplex system which is a GOOD thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ray Davis Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Congratulations Richard, 06 Dynasty sounds great. Parting with the Windsor will probably be like losing an old friend. Y'all have been many miles together. Will it fit in your parking place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Nope, it won't fit under the house even with the air bags deflated like I do the Windsor. The maximum height allowed to pass under the house is 11 feet 11 inches without causing any damage. Unfortunately, it is 2-3 inches too tall even with the old Penguin AC's. Bags deflated on the 06 Dynasty is 12 feet. My Windsor with new Penguin II's is 11 feet 9 inches with air bags dumped. That gives me 2 inches to spare. I will have to park it in the rear driveway in the meantime and use my 50 amp extension cord to reach the 50 amp RV outlet at the rear of my RV Port. Maybe this will start me thinking about moving to a different house some year in the future eliminating having to climb stairs. In the meantime I will just have to deal with the situation. I just couldn't pass up this opportunity on the 2006 Dynasty solely because it won't fit into the RV Port at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, just jack the house up, that's what they did to most of Galveston way, way back in 1900 after the great hurricane. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivylog Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Lower the floor or deflate the tires??? I was concerned the raised rails would impact getting the Navigator into the MH bay in my house…fortunately it just fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 39 minutes ago, Ivylog said: Lower the floor or deflate the tires??? The floor is a 10 inch thick slab of concrete which I installed an 8 inch thick fiber reinforced extension to the rear end so the 40 foot coach would fit entirely on the concrete. I thought about the tires but then each time I want to use it I would have to inflate all 10 tires back to the cold inflation specs. Plus not sure if it's a very good idea of releasing that much air from the tires then backing up into the RV Port letting it sit with such deflated tires. Probably not to good for the sidewalls, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivylog Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 OK, what’s the ceiling height? Any pictures of the entrance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Maximum ceiling height is 11 feet 11 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivylog Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Time to enlarge the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 The deck height is 12 feet. The house ceiling height is 12 feet. There is a border between the deck and the ceiling which is 11 feet 11 inches. The Dynasty is 12 feet with deflated air bags. No way no how... New one story house with a RV Port built off to the side works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IEMan 1 Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hello, It does have the multiplex in the closet. Do you think it has to do with the DIP switches on the multiplex modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstickbill Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Dave, be very careful about messing with the multiplex system unless you have a computer back-up of the system. As was mentioned, Frank McElroy or M&M Electronics are your best places for help. I have a back-up of my multiplex system that Bill G put on a flash drive for me several years ago. Richard, congratulations on the "new" coach, I am sure you will like it as well as I like my 07.

Chargerman Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Don’t mess with the DIP switches or you will really be in deep s***. One of the first things M&M recommended to me when my bath fan kept turning on and off was to get rid of all of the fluorescent ballasts. I converted mine over to LED. I ended up taking my Coach to them for another issue. They are the best and fixed me up in one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypoxia Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Look at the multiplex modules and see which one lights up when that light switch is turned on. Once identified, if there is an empty position on that module you can move the wire to the empty position and see if it works. If you have the same module in another position you can swap it for troubleshooting. If you do that make sure to record any dip switch positions.
