Only had to remove marker light, fog light and parking light.... That's what has me stumped.... No blow to fuses, etc... Again - everything worked perfectly when I dropped it off....

It sat there for three weeks not plugged in so I'm wondering if batteries are dead....

Did you check upper left in compartment, that has the chassis power distribution? Also, recheck ignition switch positioning. Again, did HVAC work?

HVAC won't work unless in plugged in or on generator... Right?? Dash defroster worked fine.... None of my switches at front entry work plus my smart panel (water pump, interior lights, etc) doesn't work

Sorry, I meant chassis HVAC (dash controlled). Upper left of power cabinet is where the chassis fusebox and relay center is. For water pump and coach lighting, yes, coach batteries may have been discharged, but you should still have wipers and running items from the chassis system. Usually, the dash HVAC control has a separate side of the ignition switch from the other(wipers and radio) and the engine run feed. After charging the coach batteries, you may want to check and see if the radio will work with the center console radio switch turned on. I'm trying to determine if you have power to and from the ignition switch for the accessories. Also, check if the overhead TV turns off when the ignition is turned on.(Also assuming the coach is plugged in or generator running)

Your picture showed the metal in front of the electrical door distorted so they had to work around the door.

Once the coach was running the alternator should have compensated for a low battery and run things.

I would check the electrical compartment. Inside and out. Might also ask the shop if they disconnected anything there while working.

Just my thoughts. Always something. I hate leaving my coach at the shop for this very reason. More work to do when you get it back than when you left it. Frustrating.

Great! I did have the same problem with my rearview camera screen, opened the dash cover, unplugged the radio, left it unplugged a minute, plugged it back in and it was reset. I don't understand how the coach batteries affected the wipers and radio, but glad the problem is gone.

I also am confused as to why radio/wipers aren't tied into chassis batteries and not coach batteries....

All I know is that once I put a full charge on the house batteries they both started working.... Crazy I know...

I totally do not understand this. I would have bet the farm they were not related. I am however very happy you got it figured out and working. How's it look? I bet the front end looks so much better.

Looks good - I think.... It's been POURING the entire time I've had it home and I haven't had the opportunity to totally check it out....

Did ck it over at shop before I paid them and it looked great.... Gotta go back in 30 days after the paint has cured to have clear mask installed....
