SMX Control Box & Cruise Airs
Three of my SMX control boxes are illuminated all the time (bedroom, salon, galley) and to run the cruiseairs, I have to press the button on the dash. However, my SMX for Aux Air does not illuminate until I push the button on the dash.
Is this normal or should the SMX control box for the Aux Air be illuminated all the time like the other three? If so, would this be a fuse or relay on the Marathon side?
Read both SMX articles here which are included in my coach as well but it doesn’t answer this question.

are all the control pads the same style? I have four in my coach one is a touch pad and no lights.

That is normal, I asked the same question to Joe in St. Antonio Fl, he give me an answer but that was long time ago, I don’t remember what the answer was now. But you can call Joe and ask him as well.

I don’t have a Marathon, but if I’m remembering correctly from past experiences it has something to do with the heat pump. Not all the SMX’s are tied to a heat pump. Therefore the ones that aren’t will not illuminate without the dash button pressed. And in a Marathon it seems 3 of the 4 units have a heat pump, one does not, i.e. your auxiliary air.
Could be completely wrong on this but seems to ring a bell with me.
Chime in anyone if this is inaccurate.

Tim,
The aux A/C does not have the heat pump and doesn’t have the Webasto control either. It’s strictly an A/C and is only active when the dash button is on.
