    I've lost all power to my control panel in my sleeper. I have a 2004 379 stand up. My ice box still has power and the sleep dome light still works. The panel isn't lighting up nor any of the controls working. I've changed the actuator in the dash and the mode selector. I can only get air coming out of the defrost.

    You check your fuses and wiring? Do a volt test to see if there's any juice? Follow the juice see where it stops.

    All the fuses are working. I used the heater on defrost 2 weeks ago up north. Last Sunday when I got ready to leave I turned on the AC and it didn't work nor does anything come out of the vents. The control panel in the sleeper doesn't do anything. Everything was working fine.

    But have you checked it now? Just because it was doesn't mean something ain't changed. Could be a critter got up in there or you knocked something loose.

    Yes I've checked the fuses and switched relays around over and over. I replaced the mode actuator and mode selector on the front control panel

    Aha, okay. I'm not too sure then. Might get an electrician or someone to look at it.

    Wait a minute you ain't got one of those stupid kill switches that disconnects the power?

    Oh OK. I thought about that. On our commercial wrecker it's got one on the dash board. Cuts the power in case of an emergency. Real easy to accidentally hit.
