    I have an amber (yellow) light on my sleeper control. I'm running microwave, tv, satellite receiver, cab/ sleeper lights. At times in unison. Also (at times) market lights on the truck and trailer.

    My AC is blowing cold and strong. My heat works. I assume the APU is throwing a code.

    What's going on here?

    It will read out the fault, I can't recall off the top of my head how but if it's got a manual it will tell you. Gonna take a guess and say alternator is smoked from everything running on it. They've just got a baby one on them, was a huge problem at my previous company with people running fridges and micros plus the AC.

    Is it an engine unit or a battery unit? If it's a battery unit, it's probably bad batteries. It takes 4, plus it has two modules. One of the modules could be bad. Or maybe it's both batteries and module(s). If it's an engine unit, who knows. I've not run those.
