    As I said, "may" be different on your newer truck, but mine is on the right frame rail (inside) right at the lip of the rear of the sleeper wall, it's all wrapped in electrical tape, and is in a plastic type cartridge box, it is a crap setup, should be in a weatherpack and away from the elements. I would of hoped that in the 4 years between trucks they would have come up with a better setup???

    Gotcha, that's a shame that a guy that is that tight can't see the money he is wasting idling that truck. At any rate for future reference this might come in handy for some of you guys, file:///C:/Users/Stan/Downloads/ParkSmartRev.5_optidle5-12-2016.pdf

    I believe the fuses are behind a black plastic cover in the front of the left side box. If the batteries are shot then there probably isn't enough voltage to engage the compressor.

    I have a problem with the same system. Except when I turn on my bunk sir, it only blows out of the dash ambient temperature. It shouldn't blow out of the dash when I turn it on in the bunk.

    Mine was brand new and it blew out the dash with the bunk.

    It helps to cool down when both are going vs. just one. Course, I never closed the curtain to seperate the 2 areas.

    Hey brother, I know this thread is over 3 years old but I had the same problem with my bunk ac blowing warm air. I used your suggestion and cleaned both big fuses and now I have cold air in my bunk. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
