Roadtrek 2010 170 Electrical Problem

[mikecaalaska]

Hi, I have a 2010 Roadtrek 170 that has operated great since buying in 10 years ago. A few months ago the power to the lights and other outlets / components stopped operating. I suspect that the solenoid has gone bad and no power coming through. When I operate the generator I can power up only the microwave and that outlet. Help!! (it is almost spring in northern Michigan and can finally see a bare hood s can open that up). Engine starts up fine

Does any one know what kind of solenoid that I need to replace the existing one/

Many thanks in advance.

Mike

Could be the battery disconnect relay - Intellitec malfunction https://www.classbforum.com/forums/f...tml#post110974

I'm not trying to be too cute; but did you assure that the breakers are not tripped. Also, it is possible that a breaker has failed.

HI, I also have a 2010 170, in case you need to replace the relay - I replaced mine 3 years ago. It's Intelletec Model 01-00055-00. The relay is located near the rear passenger side wheel well inside the wood compartment (also houses the inverter). You need to remove the rear bench cushion then remove screws holding the top panel of the compartment to access the relay. Disconnect the house battery and take a picture of the wiring layout before you start so you can reconnect the wires correctly. Not difficult just take time to gain access.
