Master Control Monitor Panel

So what was the resolution?

I tested at the pump with switch on and got no juice! Called & emailed Lance but got no response which really helped right? Called the monitor mfg. that is listed in the owner's manual. They said that they only made some components so couldn't really tell me how it was connected behind the face plate. Went and picked up some more fuse's (7.5a for pump, 3a for monitor panel). Replaced the fuse's for both circuits again(2nd time), bingo! I had already made an appointment at a dealer for service as I had a couple of other maintenance discrepancies I wanted them to remedy. They couldn't provide an answer either and didn't have any idea on how the two could be linked. Anyway everything has worked fine since. I did decide to buy a replacement pump to have as a backup given the age of the OEM and that it has had plenty of use. If it's going to fail I know it'll happen when boonin' somewhere!
Oh and I did not pull the face plate on the monitor which would have given me/us a better understanding of how it's wired. Just didn't feel a need once everything was back on line.

So what was the resolution?

Problem resolved, so we're back in business! Bought a replacement pump to have on hand (as a back-up) just because of the age of the OEM which seems to be fine, and the fact that we do a lot of remote camping. Hope I never need it!

Test for power at switch if no power at pump

Yes the switch is in the panel, which makes me wonder about the connection between the two. I'm going to dig into to it and pull the panel out so I can see behind it. I have power to the fuse with the switch on and I'll check at the pump. Thanks

Not sure I understand this part. You blew it, meaning the heat's been set to 55 for 3 days, but it's producing no heat?

If so, your water pump is frozen. And, if no shore power, your batteries are probably dead.

I blew it by not having the heat on to prevent the possible freezing of water lines! The furnace has now been on for 3 days and working fine! I have AC and DC power in working condition. Sorry it wasn't more clear. The pump may have frozen before the furnace was turned on, but that doesn't explain (to me) why the monitor panel isn't functioning unless there is a unknown fuse that links the panel to the switches.
