How to access IRV 33 in a Rockwood mini light 2109s 2016

Hi all, Brand new mini light, all set up in the yard and there appears to be no power to the unit. How can we access the wiring to make sure it is actually plugged in?

On the front on the left and right sides are covers that come off. The covers run rom the top to the bottom there is a little slot to put a small screwdriver in it pop them off. Under the cover should be 3 screws on each side. Remove those and it will slide out and you should see about 9643 wires back there.

It worked fuse was blown! First repair. DH says screws require a square combo bit or #2 Phillips with square tip. #1 Phillips would just spin. Thank you for help!

IRV33 radios are notorious for a couple other problems you might want to check out.
When you turn the radio on, there should only be Zone 1 active. If Zone 3 (outside speakers) is also active and you have to turn it off, they will have to replace your radio.
Another issue well known to them is at Forest River, when being installed, the techs have a habit of plugging the RCA jacks from the TV into the Audio out instead of in. It is what carries audio from the TV down and thru the IRV33.
I had to have three different radios installed in mine before they got a good one.
Always use the square bit on the screws, a phillips will round out the screw and then it will need to be drilled out.

The square bits are called Robertsons...a Canadian invention!

IRV33

As stated by others check out all the feature on this unit. Many have issues. I just took my unit in (brand new) because the tech wired it wrong, couldn't get the bluetooth to stream music, and the menu button on the remote was non functional. In short the unit(IRV33) is a piece of !@#$$ but you paid for it so you may as well get a working one.

Yep, EVERY RV owner needs to have Robertson screwdrivers.
They've been standard in RVs for many years.
