Isata 5 30FW Overhead Bedroom lights came on on their own?

[TrailWayz]

We're driving home from Maine and pulled into a Cabela's to spend the night. When we arrived the overhead bedroom lights were on and they are not responding to the switch. I press the switch and it turns blue to indicate the on state and when I turn the switch off and the lights stay on. Same with the PP panel. Both indicate on/off but the lights are not responding. We turned everything off before we left.

I tried the master switch and nothing. I tried disconnecting the batteries at the cut-off switch but once I turn it back on the lights come on again. I checked the data cable to the switch but it is one cable for both lights - Bedroom Ceiling and Bedroom Overhead. Bedroom Overhead continues to operate correctly. The lights are flickering every so slightly.

Any thoughts on getting them turned off until we get home? Should I just pull the fuse?

Outside of the immediate need to turn off any thoughts on the cause and possible solution to correct?

Reset at night so that solar does not keep the multiplex powered up.

Awesome. I'll try that after dark. Thanks!

Turning the battery disconnect in the dark worked - temporarily.

We were driving home today and when we pulled off for gas I went in the back and the lights were on again and would not respond to the switch. Drove all the way home like that. Cannot get them to turn off with the wall switch or the multiplex. Thoughts?

I would reach out to Precision Circuits. They are pretty good at their systems and if it is something that needs a part, they can handle that without bouncing you around.

Sounds good. I'll call them in the morning. Thanks.
