This means many people see the LED on and think their chassis batteries are charging when they are not. Use/store must be "on" to charge the coach batteries. Best way to make sure is using a voltmeter on your batteries with use/store in the “on” position. If battery voltage is not at least 13+ then it is time to investigate why the converter is not connecting to your coach batteries.
I had a problem with a loose wire going to the 15 Amp C/B holder laying on top of the hydraulic pump. Couldn't fix it without breaking the plastic either so after that I bought a new plastic fuse, wired it in and NOW the slide works every time I press the button. Halaluyah!
