Just got back from the dealer after heater core replacement and discovered that the dash radio does not work when the main/auxiliary radio dashboard switch is in the main radio position and the digital temperature/compass is not working. Under the front hood there are push in circuit breakers, there is one that is popped that cannot be reset it is labeled "chassis battery feed". Any advice would be appreciated my dealer is 50 miles away I really do not feel like going back again

What a bummer

You might pull up your coach's wiring diagrams on the Winnie web site and just start tracing the circuits. For an investment of maybe an hour of research, you might save yourself a trip back to the dealer.

-Or-

Look around where where they were working. Maybe you can spot something amiss.

Thanks for the advice thats what I plan to do in the daylight tomorrow but I am not much of a mechanic I really don't know what to look for. I did find out that when my generator is on there is no electric to the coach but when I plug into electric everything works in the coach except the 2 previous dashboard items.

GG1: I found a similar case of radio, temp etc not working (along with the remote mirrors and HWH leveling system) and traced it to the accessory fuses in the panel over the gen set. There are several 10amp and 15amp fuses which you can easily pull and visibly examine to see if they're blown. While you're there look at the switch on the slanted top of your gen set and switch it over. I found that to work when I could not get the AC to work when I ran the genset while on the road. Hope it helps... good luck

On my 2003 Adventure it was a fuse "the 15A blade fuse in the Workhorse fuse box labeled "Radio/Accessory", everything was hooked up to it, Mirrors, radio, temp/direction, electric window (door), and the Leveling Jacks. If when lowering the jacks you lowerred the window, "pop goes the fuse
'. And yes it is the "Radio Accessory" fuse!
