Yes, the best part of the forum is that we can pass info on as none of us are ever going to know it all! So if we all throw in little bits and pieces as we do get to know them better and then we compare notes, we can learn a lot of stuff.
But then the problem gets into the same thing as us laying in the floor? How much do we want to do that!
I'm well past wanting to work much and the contacts that I had built up just doing calls has been pretty well blown up with covid. One main interest just flat died and others decided it was just time to quit! My wife has decided she doesn't want to get out and go as too much trouble and too many that she doesn't want to be around, so I'm just kind of lost between feeling like doing something and not wanting to do anything! Our last trip to Florida was a real downer for me as just going into a place for lunch was no fun! I met a sheriff's deputy who was so KIND as to inform me that they didn't wear masks around there!
He seemed to think they didn't need "my kind" so we've marked Florida off for any place I'll take my money!
I was glad I wasn't speeding and just wearing a mask into a strange restaurant in a strange town was my big offense!
So I have time to kill and I'm glad to pass on where I find some of this information.
First is the wiring diagrams of mostly the coach systems. Some RV also have good stuff on the chassis side also and you are in that lucky group with quite a lot of both coach and chassis. I think of them as the stuff only on RV and the other as what the normal truck has.

Your RV is way past all the rest and bottom by itself!
You get to your RV and it has a list of various drawings of different types. Installation drawings will often be more a physical layout of where the wires and cables run. That is good if you don't know where something like the generator is even located! But the lines are not real clear at times and leave a lot to improve!
Then the "wiring diagrams" are more what I think of as "schematics" and closer to a real wire by wire layout of what each wire connects together. Close but not actually ALL the wires? Sometimes they seem to think EVERYBODY knows that, so they leave stuff off.
If they show a power wire goes in, we sometimes have to assume there is a ground for it to come out!
The mode solenoid is one where they show power in but often fail to show that the mounting screw is the ground if it is a three connection type. The four connection type has another wire FM that is laid down on that mounting screw to give it ground from two places!
If you go to "Automotive wiring diagram" in the list, you get good stuff I was not expecting to find as many RV , we don't get the automotive end!

When we go there, the first thing I spotted was where H and 1 might cross! And we see a note in triangle for note 9? Winn. draws as if the sheets and frames (S1 F? ) are laid out side by side. Sheet 1 of 5, then S1F2, S1F3, laying them out from right to left!
Asian influence, maybe?
The notes (triangles) will be down in left lower corner of last frame of that group of sheets.
If we think of them laid out on a table, notice there are no lines running off the right side, but they all go off the left on the first page? Across the top, the numbers are 1-3 and if we move to frame 2, we get 4-6 and continue on up to the end of that group of sheets on frame 5 for this bunch!
Main hint might be that if you are following a line and it goes off the page on left, scroll DOWN to the next page and expect it to come in on right!
If the line goes off page on right, go UP end expect it to come in on left!
Big help is the wired "decoder sheet here:
https://www.winnebago.com/Files/File...ical_guide.pdf
See wire ID on the first sheet for KE and LD? Those both show as 14 gauge yellow wires and should be labeled on the wires when we find them. But if we look on the decoder list, we can hit "CNTL and F" to bring a drop down where we can put in an ID like KE!
That often can cut us right to the thing we are looking for instead of scrolling down to KE! But the fault is ke is also in a lot of words and we get 152 spots, so we have to scroll down to KE!
That tells us it is from a "run only" power source to a relay. Not real helpful!
then LD tells us it is from Ignition switch accessory power source to relay!
Chasing these two wires, they both go to a relay. I don't have the info on which contacts of that relay meet what other contact, so I'm guessing again!
What I see it that the jack alarm gets power from either the engine running on KE or when the key is on first click/ ignition accessories using LD!
I kind of gave up chasing these two wires as they go lots of different places to power lots of different things. Seems to power about everything that comes on when the engine is running or the key is on access. and that's a lot of stuff!
I think power will be good to this point or you would see lots of stuff not work!
If you look at sheet one and follow LD down past where it branches to left but further down to E where it shows a plug on sheet 4 E-4? If we chase that to sheet 4 and find that plug, we get a whole mess but where the power comes from, either when running or acc. !
This leads to the mode solenoid for both chassis and coach power. They don't show it but I know the solenoid has those two power cables on each side! That solenoid is where the boost/jump start connects as well as when we drive to charge the coach batteries, so I know it is there but they don't show us on this drawing! It also looks like they messed up and somehow drew the solenoid twice! NOT perfect drawings!
But the main idea is that the brown line and the orange line both go through different fuses and bring power up to a relay and that relay switches which wire to make hot when running or on ACC.
You have a source selector switch? You might check that amplifier works on both sources but I really don't think this is the current problem as it feeds so much, I feel like you would have noticed that much stuff lost!
In the future, is you ever notice about half the 12volt RV stops working, these two fuses might be a place to look ! Those are 30 amp fuses and that says they are feeding LOTS of stuff you are likely to notice missing!
I'm leaning toward the problem being on the control box!
Linear Mode
