The 7-way gave up the ghost after we were hundreds of miles away from the dealer who did our engine work (and who may have caused the problem to begin with).
Anyway, we gave Newmar a call, they said to call Spartan, and Spartan determined that when our 7-way was installed in 2000/2001, it was connected directly to the RV's lighting system -- no special fuse for the 7-way.
So we took it to a Cummins/Spartan dealer close to us and after 3 hours they couldn't find out what was wrong. I told them to stop work and they graciously only charged me $244.
So . . . I'm going to just bypass the current 7-way system, and install another wiring harness.
The Tekonsha Zero Contact Interface looks like the solution because I won't be "cutting" into any of the RV's wiring.
