Our RV (full time dwelling) is at a truck shop (Maudlin International), and we're in a hotel in Daytona Beach, FL.
------
The truck shop couldn't get definitive info from Monaco about what was installed (surprise) so they pulled the AC system out Monday PM.
They were able to find some replacement parts locally and got the coil flushed at a radiator shop.
After checking the system for crud from the blown compressor they put it all back together today (Thursday).
The AC pump froze 8 months ago and the dash heater completely stopped running 4.5 months ago.
The dash controls are not responding at all. No heat, cool or fan.
- I didn't see any fried fuses.
- The coolant is not low.
The shop suggested that if the AC was out of refrigerant that the entire system could shut down so they couldn't troubleshoot the heater/fan until they go the AC fixed. I'm not sure that was correct, but I didn't want to send them on a wild goose chase at $100+/hr.
They're not sure what is up, and they don't work weekends so they either fix it tomorrow (Friday) or we have to start changing plans and forfeiting prepaid reservations. It's not the end of the world, but it would suck.
I'm going to drill through the forums and hunt for some idea, but if you happen to have some suggestions regarding why our dash heater would be completely dead, then maybe I can help them narrow the search.
