Air Conditioner / Thermostat after sitting for 2 years

Further news in the saga of getting my 5er running after sitting for over two years:

- after pumping up to max the truck's 6 tires I decided to go into the RV and enjoy the air conditioning
- it's plugged into a house RV plug 30A

I started the bedroom AC and the fan came on. After sitting there for a few minutes I thought the compressor wasn't working.

I was on my way outside to hear what I could hear and the unit stopped. The Dometic multi zone thermostat was displaying E1. I had this once before when I had a problem with the generator and transfer switch. To reset, I pushed and held ZONE and MODE. Last time, that was all it needed to get working. This time it didn't display zones 1 & 2 like it's supposed to: 1 was flashing and 4 was on solid (I don't have a zone 4).

I've tried resetting several time, cycling the breakers to no avail.

I'm hoping one of you have had this problem and know the fix. Please?

This is my thermostat:
