2016 Anthem. When we pulled into campground this evening I shut engine down and using fob, unlocked bays. The navigator monitor suddenly went solid white. There is now no power to navigation screen, back up monitor screen, dash lights are illuminated displaying mileage and - - - - Hours. (It is normally set for average mph and outdoor temp) The leveling system flashes Ignition On (no key in ignition) and jacks don’t move. When I power on autolevel, all lights illuminate and then Ignition On flashes.
I have checked fuses in outside bay on driver’s side, turned off power switch at door for 5 min and back on, nothing tripped in breaker panel over driver.
Thoughts, suggestions?

Hard reset (yellow disconnect in rear bay) did the trick!

Thanks for updating the issue. Everyone now has a strategy to deal with the situation.

Well…….at 5am we’re jolted awake by the sound of the dash horn blaring (not air horn and not security alarm), dash is illuminated and both the navigation and backup monitors are black. I grabbed a flashlight to head outside, opened entry door and closed it behind me. As soon as door closed everything returned to “normal”. ie dash no longer illuminated, both monitors returned to “normal” and horn stopped blaring.

Ruff Morning.

Good thing it was not you air horn.

Sounds like you are on the right track with chassis power to front of the coach.

This post brings to mind similar problems some folks were having after driving in the rain. Were you by chance driving in the rain yesterday? I think Chuck, (brobox), might be able to contribute some experience to this possibility?

With as many things that have shorted, it sound like a ground problem. Did you recently drive in heavy rain where a control module maybe wet?

Nope. We’ve been in southern Utah for several months and just came into Colorado yesterday. No rain aside from brief “spit”. (Literally a few drops on windshield)
