LCI no power to control

[Stanleyh757]

Help! After having my 2014 Miramar reupholstered, I have no power to my lci control panel. Checked all fuses to no avail. Checking previous posts, all are saying reset the 100 Amp breaker by the hydraulic pump. I have searched high and low and cannot locate said breaker. All I have are battery connections, no breaker found anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the breaker on the wall in the battery compartment. When you press the button a flag pops up. Push the flag back down and the breaker is reset. I hope this is the issue.

By "LCI" I assume you mean the hydraulic levelers?
The 100 amp breaker is near the batteries, not necessarily the hydraulic pump.

Besides power to the system your ignition also has to be ON for the panel to power up.

Thanks but there is no breaker there just cable connections

Follow the cables to the breakers. There are two: one 50 amp to connect the house batteries to the house DC buss, and one 100 amp that supplies the generator starting/running circuit and the levelers hydraulic pump.

If your generator will start - that eliminates the 100 amp breaker as the cause.

Thanks. Are you talking about the 2 breakers at the generator?

No, DC breakers like this:




They will have a large battery cable connected to each end.

The breakers, as mentioned and displayed by 16ACE27, on our RV look like his posted picture except, ours are not two tone, they are entirely black.

My levelers had quit working recently, but the problem traced to pack rats chewing control wiring in two. A reconnect and soldered fixed my worry.

The rat problem persists. Daily monitoring shows they are taking the poison away, but at least they are not trying to be nesting, and my snap traps haven't got but one. Now using snickers bar as bait on them.

I'm possibly looking at a similar issue; especially since I park in the backyard near a forested area. No power to panel (worked in March when I had DMV inspection done) but nothing now. All the obvious things are checked - 50 and 100amp busses good and reset for good measure; no leveler labeled fuse in the box, all other electronics seem good. Restarted engine, banged (figuratively) on panel On/Off a few times, and no joy.

Figure I'll be tracing wires for days. Wondering where you found the rat damage, in case it's comparable to harness on my Windsport and perhaps a rodent happy place? Unlikely to save me any time, but worth the ask I suppose.

On my 2018 ACE there is a third breaker in the chassis engine compartment. On the 2018 when that one is tripped, it impacts the Step, the power mirrors, the wipers, and the Jacks.

True, the chassis battery powers the LCI jack control module through the fuse and relay board down by the drivers left foot. That is common on all Plant 750 coaches 2016 through 2020. The OPs coach is a 2014 Plant 850 coach and I would bet the Plant 850 engineers wired it somewhat differently.
