Axxerra Radio/Nav issue
During a recent trip, I was using the GPS navigation on our new 2018 Miramar. On the first leg of our trip, the navigation screen gave an error message and stopped working. All the other functions of the radio worked (radio, backup camera, etc). Once we got designated, I found a "reset to defaults" setting on one of the menu screens. I did the reset and the nav started working again. On the trip home, I was using the Nav and it locked up again after about 30 minutes. This time, the whole Axxerra system locked up. None of the buttons worked and I couldn't turn off the unit. I stopped at a rest area and turned on the battery disconnect. In the past, if I had the battery disconnect switch in the "store" position, the radio could not be turned on. I put the battery in the store position but the radio was still powered on. I went outside and turned the breaker off that is in the battery compartment. Radio still on. I physically disconnected both house batteries, radio still on. I reconnected the house batteries and then disconnect the chassis battery. RADIO WAS STILL ON! Finally, I. disconnected the chassis battery and both house batteries and the radio powered off.
I guess my question is, does this seem to be wired correctly? After powering off the radio, I left the battery disconnect switch in the store position and the radio wouldn't come on. Turned to then "use" position and radio would come on. This is a head scratcher to me because turning off the house batteries in the store position (when the radio was locked up), wouldn't cut the power to the radio.
Another thing I noticed was when I had the chassis battery disconnected, I still had power to the ignition. I know there is a emergency start switch on the dash that I thought would connect the house batteries to be able to start the motorhome if the chassis battery was dead but it seems that the chassis batteries and house batteries are always connected. Does this seem right? This is our first motorhome so I'm still trying to learn how everything works.
