Hi guys, we have been experiencing this more and more often, time to fix. Does anyone know where we can get the door open and door lock mechanisms mounted on the wall behind the control board as you enter the coach? As long as someone's on the inside we remove the panel, reach in and flip the left rocker one position. The right rocker locks and unlocks the door, that does not work either. So we would like to replace both but not sure where to get them. Pic attached!

Thanks, as always!

Hi guys - no news from the Gurus, so time to reach out to Newell.

Of course they don't make these any longer - they proposed one of two options: 1) relay from Amazon, some wiring changes or 2) new board from Newell, more wiring changes than the relay from Amazon. I have asked for the updated wiring diagrams/changes for both options and will post what I receive here. At

At least getting into the coach is easy - but we still have to flip the relay. It is failing so often now that I'm thinking about installing tiny hinges at the bottom of the control panel.

Do you by chance think it could be the micro switch that's failing. Instead of the relay?
My doors are manual so I don't have that set up but I sure have a couple failed micro switches.
Quick test would be to see if you have the same micro switches on something like a closet door to turn the lights on and off. Swap it out as a test and it would tell you pretty quickly.

Dave, I have sprayed a light cleaner on those very switches and followed with a light lubricant which freed them up for quite a while.  That may work for you!
