Where is your indicator light located? My 2003 doesn't have one.

I ordered a 10 watt panel from Amazon.com I wanted to retain the same factory wattage and approximate size plus the the price was the best I could find, $70. 10 Watt Black Frame Mono-crystalline Solar Panel and Battery Charger

After it is installed I'll report my results.

Marty,
On our '05 the solar panel indicator light is located at the Systems Monitor Panel just below the 120v water heater switch. See you in a couple of weeks.

I replaced the solar panel today. It works now. I purchased the RV used and the solar charger didn't work when I bought the RV. My charging light is on now! Old solar panel was very deteriorated.
