I am new to this and called coachnet but was no help. My monitor panel is working for everything except my level monitor for battery, fresh, black and gray tanks. When I push the button nothing happens. The fuse to the panel (in fuse center 15a) is fine.
Any help on how to get this up and running again? I would take it back to dealer but I am using it for awhile and can't get back. I have had this thing for a week :/
The monitor panel is only an estimate of conditions, a =rough= estimate. Most accurate thing to do is to get a digital monitor and go direct to the battery(ies). A great resource article is "The 12v Side of Life"; part 1 is here and part 2 is here. You should also get a 110v meter to monitor the coach voltage when on shore power. You can get an inexpensive one that simply plugs into an outlet. LOW voltage is more damaging than high voltage, in most cases. A lot of people use either a surge protector (good ones will cut off =low= voltage as well as high) or a line conditioner.

Lyle, I understand they are only rough estimates. My issue is that they have no estimates when they won't light up.
