Resolved I think I need an exorcism

[lostinfla]

So, I finally finished the battery change over to lithium, everything in the coach powered up nicely. (While changing over, the coach was unplugged and house batteries removed so everything was powered down.) Now, the entry step lights are on and won't go off. Any ideas?

I feel like this is a coincidence…. I would look at the switches on the door…. The door is closed, yes?

Patio/Entry light switch on?

 

[lostinfla]

The pins on the door are fine and the patio light isn't on. It's just the LED strips in the stairwell that are on. I cycled the salesman switch (they stayed on) and cycled the switch for the engine batteries as that controls some of the stuff up front like the keyless entry. (bins, not door, which I still haven't figured out why it's wired that way) Isn't this controlled by the Trimark system? I think that box is behind the dash somewhere. Maybe it needs a reboot.

My Trimark box is behind the dash. Haven't had to mess with it, but it was there when I took the dash off for another issue.

Mistake, I think it's a part of the KIB system.

 

[lostinfla]

Yup, part of the KIB system with the controller behind the instrument pod. I found it is powered by the chassis batteries but the switch in the battery compartment doesn't kill the power there. I dug the module out, pulled the 12v feed and powered it back up. Happy beyond words to say it's working again!

Congrats @lostinfla , I know the feeling.

Thanks Ed, I was beginning to think I had acquired a curse of some sort. Now, to tackle the Oasis, Active Air, shade motors, etc.....

I have often debated adding another battery kill switch for all things that bypass the main chassis battery kill switch(es -- if Spartan) that they wire in at the factory.

Best,

What is your AA problem?

I did this when I did my lithium conversion. I was flabbergasted that Newmar didn't include it from the factory. Battery positive to kill switch then to positive bus bar for the other loads connect to. Makes maintenance and storage so much simpler.

Right rear bag gains pressure while driving. I have to keep switching the RR from low to normal to keep the pressures close to normal. Been going back and forth via email with tests they suggest, but it's looking like a trip to Moscow this year.

That’s about the only place that can help you, unfortunately. I’m 2000 miles one way from them which makes it somewhat troubling. Once there, however, they are good, fast & relatively inexpensive to deal with.
