We are still having power problems and not able to locate all of the fuse panels. We have disconnected the house batteries and the chassis batteries, checked all fuses and breakers in the panel near bath. We have checked fuses in the battery compartment and still do not have 12vdc at the AC thermostat and the entry way lights and entry outside light. Service manager and tech's are trying to locate the hidden panel??? To check the fuses and just to know for the future, headlights, wipers, ceiling lights??
Thanks

Some of those things are powered through the Vansco module. Disconnecting the batteries then reconnecting will reset the Vansco if the internal breaker has tripped. Turning off the chassis switch resets it as well.

I have disconnected both house and chassis batteries in attempt to reset the vansco system. Still no power to the entry light circuit at the door, or for the thermostat, also for the entry light switch for the ceiling lights.
Thanks

Have you checked the fuse panel in the bathroom? The door lights get their power there.

The entry lights might be on the dash dimmer switch. That's how they're connected on our Apex.

Yes, have checked the fuses in panel in bath area, all are good. The Service manager has bypassed the circuit and put a 12vdc at the switches and all is working. He is going to research further and so will I. He is supposed to pass the information onto me so I can correct the problem. But for now it is working. Thanks for all suggestions and I still would like to know where the fuse panel is for the circuit and the wipers, headlights & other things that may be fused. Thanks

Ralph, when you disconnected the batteries were ALL lights on both the Vansco units out? If you did the disconnect during the day, the solar cells could have kept the units alive, the lights should tell you. In the cabinet in the bathroom, where the circuit breakers are located, there should be a solar controller, looks like this, up near the top of the cabinet.

I will have to try it again and make sure of solar disconnect also, making sure also all vansco units power down & reset. Thanks

If the lights do not all go out you could do the disconnect at the plug from the Vansco. The units have the program in RAM and will reload themselves.

Everything seems to be working today, we left the dealership and I drove about 200 miles. The Alpine handles like a dream, the DW was even impressed at how well I seemed to relax and enjoy the ride. After I get it home I will do a complete reset of Vansco system, don't want to upset the cart now as long as everything keep working. Thanks folks for advise and help!
See you down the road!!

Ralph, glad to hear all is working properly. Each time the power is disconnected from the Vansco it is rebooted on power up and goes back to factory settings. Their are 2 Vansco units and either one can contain the WRV program, it will automatically propagate to both units.

Thanks guys, we have been enjoying the Alpine today. Everything is still working good and loving the Alpine. When I reach a good a location I will give it a reset. Thanks
