Well…this is an old resurrected thread. But now that I’ve read and gotten sucked into it…LOL…I’m having PTS all over again.
This exact thing happened to me as I was driving my 2015 home…literally within hours of purchasing it!!
It was pouring rain, I hit a dip at freeway speed, and everything went dead. Pulled under an overpass and did a full shutdown and…luckily…I got it all restarted.
Thankfully, my next stop was Newell service where I got my first lesson on the MERGE RELAY (used to be called a klaxon) in the load center. I know my 2015 is set up differently than yours, HOWEVER, my experience may translate to others.
Those merge relays burn from heat, then become weak. The top of one was brown from heat discoloration! There were a set of relays and both were replaced with higher capacity (amp) versions. One tech suggested replacing them every year!
