    My truck has a panel and I am not sure what it is, or if it even works.

    I had something similar in a different truck more than 4 years ago, and if I am right, it has something to do with automatic start and stop to run climate control when temperatures are outside of the "comfort zone"; but I am not sure.

    Any advice is appreciated.

    Aah yes. The flux capacitor resistance compressor controller.

    Press the green and red buttons together whilst singing a national anthem of your choice for 2.5 minutes, and then behold the joy.

    Sorry man - my truck still has a push button starter, I got nothing.

    Happy April Fools day. :)

    the one with the green power button looks to be a readout for your inverter.

    "What happened to your reading light cord Lol"

    I have no clue... I am not the first driver of this truck, and I have only had this one 2 months. It was like this when I got it....

    To clarify, the panel I am talking about is the small square one.

    I did that... nothing happened.....

    If it's what I think it is and similar to what I had in that other truck so long ago, there was something I needed to do from the driver's seat first.

    Don't know, I had a truck many years ago with the espar heater you just turn on and then adjust the temperature. Now have an APU
