Electrical Problem

Recommended Posts

While trouble shooting inop door awning [Carefree ] in Monaco 42 pdq, I determined the switch was bad [melted].

Replaced same [oem] and had 12 volts until I hit extend. Lost power also lost thermostat power and cgfi 120 volt tripped.

Cannot find fuse for awning reset cgfi [OK] but no thermostat.

Recycled on off thermo but nothing on it. A/C is more important then awning.

Any help will help.

Wtod210e, Welcome to the FMCA Forum!

The make is Monaco and Model is 42 PDQ. What year model is it?

Could you post the type of heat for the group.

Sounds like the awning motor is shorted out or is bound up and drawing a high current. The Thermostat and control system is powered by 12 volts. Bad 12 volt fuse?

The control systems can sometimes be reset by removing the DC power fuse - leaving it out for 5 to 10 minutes and it might reset.

Also, do you have the owners manual for the coach?

Rich.

Rich, I agree that the door awning motor may have a short, but the wiring going to that motor may have developed a short and may be causing havoc.
