Coach powerf switch wont turn off 2006 cross country

2006 Coachman cross country. When storing the rv I go to turn off the coach power switch and it wont turn off. Normally I would hear a click and power to rv would be off. Im thinking relay or fuse? any ideas? thanks.

  • Experience same problem on my 2005 Cross Country. I replaced the relay transfer switch, problem solve. Switch was located in the rear passenger side compartment.
  • Ok guys, I found the relay and one of the two 5 amp fuses was bad. I replaced fuse and it blew again. I tried it again with same result. I am thinking it is a bad transfer relay which I can get for about 50 bucks. Any thoughts out there?
    I guess I am lucky it failed with the power in the on position. For the time being I disconnected the neg. on the coach batteries.
    Thank you,

  • Thanks for the reply. Any idea where the relay is located? How about the 5 amp fuse? I checked the fuse and relay box in front left panel on outside and it's not labeled there.

  • If you do not hear the click, check the 2- 5 amp fuses on the disconnect relay. IF they are GOOD, odds are the relay is bad. You should be able to hear it click in both USE and STORE. Even if it is in USE mode, it will click if good. Doug

    Assuming for the moment an INTELLETEC Battery Control System.'IN the BCC there are several fuses. Some are 5 amp ONE OF THOSE controls the switch.

    Remove all 5 amp fuses

    Cycle USE/STORE switch like 100 times, both ways

    Replace switch

    If it works,, GOOD, if not your FREE is hereby cheerfully refunded.
  • You're better off taking off the negative battery cable. If you're using the OEM cut-off switch, it most likely doesn't kill all of the power and your batteries will eventually go dead.
