Bedroom Window Blinds
The window blinds in the bedroom quit working. I have no voltage what so ever on either switch for both blinds, on either side of the bed except for the illumination voltage, I’ve checked all breakers and fuses, as well as all the gfi(s) I can find, I seriously doubt if both blind motors went out at the same time. I just have to ask if any other Marathon owners of the 2003 vintage have experienced this and can give some direction.
Thank you,
Dave

Dave,
Which breakers and fuse panels have you looked at ?

Everything I can find, I’m not even sure if they’re AC or DC, but I’ve checked the AC panels in the bay and the two in the bedroom as well as all the DC on the panel in bedroom, and checked all the DC circuit breakers and fuses in the driver’s door area, I’ve checked all the AC GFIs I can find and have tested voltage at all the surrounding plugs as well as the GFI plug voltages, and reset the GFIs that are on the breakers in the AC panels.

I called Al, he gave me some things to check in an area in the rear closet, I will check this out in the morning and post the results. What a nice guy! I really appreciate the help, thank you Al!

Aren’t the blinds in your model controlled by Techlink switches?
-
Threegreens,
I guess I’m not sure what the Techlink switches are, we used to have that “Pronto” controller that would remotely control the blinds in the salon, and it had manual switches mounted by the door that control those as well. The only thing in the bedroom is just a couple switches (2 way) mounted on the wall on each side of the bed, nothing remote or wireless back there.
We changed out coach batteries today, so I didn’t get a chance to investigate Al’s suggestions. I will tomorrow though.

Those rocker switches in the bedroom on mine do not go through a Node Relay and must have an inline fuse somewhere.

Well now that I found the fuse (thanks to Boater Al) it seems like I might have already learned about how they use the fuses on the control(?) box a while back and forgot already.
I’ve had this coach a little over 2 years ago and have only had it out a couple times, the last time was about a year and a half ago, there’s a lot to learn on these and taking too much time between uses doesn’t help, so I’m just going to have to make time to use it more. By the way the fuse was under the bed.

Busman,
Are there any errors on the inverter control panels? If not, maybe a main breaker on one of the panels in the bay or your inside panel, check the GFI breakers in the panels too.
Hopefully someone else helps you here, that’s just where I’d start.

Enjoyed talking with you on the phone the other day.
