    I have Thermo King APU evolution, with three knobs for control. it worked fine when I stopped. Now I realized I can't control it at all. LED lights are stuck and they won't turn off, therefore my APU won't kick in. I completely turned the power off to the truck, but that didn't do nothing. So, I am sitting here, trying drain APU battery. Any help would be awesome

    That is the manual for your apu. If you cannot trouble shoot it. Call the number provided on one of the last pages.

    Why would you drain the apu battery? The heater is an espar under the bunk, nothing to do with the apu running other than providing juice for the heater fan. Do you want to power the truck and apu off by unhooking batteries? Its easier to just pull fuses.

    It won't run the heater, since the control knob doesn't turn off. It's like you know when your computer freezes, that's what I am dealing with right now.

    Pull fuses and replace fuses. If that does not work. Call number ... Thermoking emergency "cold" line (888) 887-2202

    or idle. or if not allowed to idle call company and get a hotel room. or bundle up.

    Good luck!

    No worries everyone, I got it fixed. This is a newer model of Apus and it has a motherboard sort of. So, like I said it's like a computer. Unplug it and plug it back in. The correct term of 3 knobs is HMI controller, if I knew that from beginning, I'd be sleeping already

    My APU Evolution starts within a few minutes of starting my airtronic bunk heater and cycles on and off every 30 minutes or so. And this is a brand new truck with 15k miles.
