No Power to Compass Connect Panel?

[TiogaCB]

We were traveling this past weekend and when we arrived back we went to extend the awning on our 260RD and the compass connect panel was completely dead (no lights, controls, tank level indicators). In addition, the radio right below the panel would not turn on. I immediately thought it was a fuse, but I have ohmed all 7 fuses and they all seem fine. I disconnected all power and reconnected and still nothing. I am hoping I am just missing a fuse that is located somewhere other than the 12V fuse panel, but if there is, I missed it in the manual.

I have read a bit about the unity board and its role in the compass connect system and plan to go see if there is power there but I am a bit befuddled that the radio (right below the panel) also does not seem to have power and it seems to be independent of the compass connect system.

Any direction or thoughts would be appreciated. After sitting in our driveway all winter, this problem happens to arrive two weeks before we were to travel on our first summer trip.

Thanks

Do any of the other 12V fixtures work?
There is an in-line auto-reset circuit breaker, usually mounted on a wall very near the batteries. Of course if that fails most of the 12V stuff is down. Easy to replace.

Everything is working except the monitor panel, and oddly the second thermostat in the living room also seems to be dead. All other lights on 12V except the overheads controlled by the panel work. Of course, that compass control panel controls the bluetooth, awning, tank monitors, slide... so hard to live without. The manual says to check the fuse near the battery if your monitor panel is dead (I assume they are referring to the compass connect panel and not the battery monitor). I have a fuse near the battery but that fuse is good. Maybe there is a second fuse near the battery, I have poked around quite a bit and I am not seeing one?

Sounds like mice or rat problem.

Tioga, you ever get it working? If so, the culprit?

Give Lippert a call. They're very helpful.

A buddy (2025 337) just happened to be telling me his curbside slide and awning were inoperable (ie, strange that only some 12v things didn't work like the OP situation). Took it to the dealer and tech diagnosed it as the Unity Board (warranty). Odd...

IMHO, some things (or industries) are just too SMART for their own good. Give me good ol' switches and leave the bargain-basement tech off.
