Panel Switches Strange Behavior
#2

When the auxiliary compressor switch is in the off position, the compressor button and three of the other six buttons on that panel turn on as if those buttons have been pressed and those items turned on (main water pump, diesel hot water, and electric hot water). Those extra items do not turn on, but their buttons show they are on. If I press one of those buttons, the item turns on and off normally, but the light stays on. Additionally, a panel above the front entry door has three buttons that also turn on (outside flood lights). Again, pressing those buttons toggle the items on and off, but the panel lights stay on regardless. The buttons in the water bay also show the main water pump as on all the time. When I press the auxiliary compressor to the on state, all other panel lights behave normally. Since I am chasing air leaks, I have been turning the compressors off so they don't run all the time, but it's driving me nuts to not know if my water pump and water heaters are really on or off. I've been turning the compressors on so my panel lights work correctly and have been physically unplugging the compressors to keep them from running. Is this one for the Newell factory to address and replace a faulty button panel? Or is there some other approach I can try. I did disconnect all power, including turning off all switches in the battery bay so there was no power to the coach and let it sit for a long while. I thought that may reset something, but it did not work.

Pat, sorry to say I am not much help with your year coach. Your coach is new compared to most of the active members on here. We do have a few guys who have newer coaches who frequent here and hopefully one of those guys will be able to guide you on this. A photo of your switches will also help if you can add that, at least so we know what kind of switches we are talking about. I am thinking your coach is using some of the new multiplex type system, with various components to make things operate.
