  • Control of shades seems to be related to temps!

    Posted by Tom on November 25, 2015 at 10:00 am

    My shades in the salon seem to go totally dead when it’s chilly outside (we’ve had nights down in the 30’s lately). Then, later in the day, when it warms up, they will resume working.

    Am I looking for a “sticky” relay…or what? If so, does anyone happen to know where to look?

    I searched the left/forward compartment (beneath the driver seat) and the 12 volt breaker panel in the bedroom. Havn’t found anything that looks like the culprit.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated. ty

    Do you have a couch? Check under the coach. You might have to remove any drawers and then remove plywood that is hiding the control units.

    You don’t have to remove plywood in a Marathon from the floor to get at anything.

    We are different buses but in mine the relays for the blinds are in the overhead above the passenger seat.

    Bernie…

    The panels where the switches (for the shades) are actually just slid in place…can be just pulled out to see behind them….I should see what you’re referring to…

    I try looking in there…ty

    Could this be the new “Active Solar” option?

    I really meant “panels” when I wrote “plywood” in my previous post. Thinking the controls are behind a panel under the couch.

    I meant no disrespect to the Marathon conversion and I hope none was inferred.
