The relay box was to the rope light that had stopped working - we disconnected it and the ticking stopped. We will have to figure out how to replace the light in order to keep our RV at it's best, but until then we can now sleep. We made sure everything else was still connected - it's always a learning experience and this forum is the best. Appreciate everyone's time and concern!  Ante

Bobby,

I have 2 of the easy touch RV thermostats.  I purchased them for their WIFI connectivity, but I really like the way they work either through wifi or blue-tooth.  I keep my phone mounted on the dash, and from the drivers seat I can turn on/off, adjust the temperature of either AC unit as long as the generator is running.  I can also turn the AC units on or off through wifi from my phone if I am away from the RV as long as there is a cell signal.  When I pull it up it lets me see the inside temperature and see if the dogs are comfortable or not.
For me this has been worth the money.  They have worked great for the last 5 years or so, and when one of the first ones didn't work correctly they over-nighted a replacement as soon as I contacted them.  Could not have asked for better customer service.

If you call them before you buy I am sure they will walk you through what will or will not work in your situation

Hopefully this will help you some.

Nicholas,

If only one headlight is out I doubt it is the fuse or power out.   1st verify that you have 12 volts,or likely less going out to the headlight that is not working.  If there is no power there start tracing the power wire backwards toward the electrical panel.  At the same time check for good grounds along that circuit.  Unless your coach is different form mine both headlights are powered on the same circuit.

We are pulling the bed apart today to get to the relay - so I will definitely take pictures when we have access. Thanks so much!

I haven't tried the EasyTouch but do know finding a used 5button Dometic is very difficult. Chatgpt came back with below. Not sure if anyone has tried these as a 5button replacement?

-Gene

From online search result:
To upgrade your specific system while keeping your existing Dometic 630516.321 AC units, you need:
   • Model: EasyTouch RV 357 (ASY-357-X01)
   • Compatibility: This model is the dedicated "drop-in" replacement for the Dometic 3109228.001 5-button thermostat. It uses the same RJ-11 (phone jack) connector and communicates with your existing AC control boards without needing any conversion kits.
Key Features of the ASY-357 Upgrade
   • No Rewiring: It uses the same cable and 3-wire setup already in your Beaver Marquis.
   • Remote Control: Adds WiFi and Bluetooth capability, allowing you to monitor and change the temperature from your phone via the EasyTouch RV app.
   • Multi-Zone Support: It will correctly handle the multi-zone configuration often found in high-end coaches like the Marquis.
   • Smart Detection: It automatically detects your furnace, heat strips, or heat pump sources.

Important Note for Installation
When you install the new unit, you will typically need to perform a system reset (similar to the original Dometic "Mode + Zone" reset) to ensure it recognizes all the AC units on your network. The Micro-Air unit usually does this automatically upon first power-up.

Ante,

Can you post a picture of the relay?  It likely is a type 87, but if not I am sure it can be identified with a picture.  If the relay is failing and constantly switching power it may be  a source of your power drain. Changing out relays is fairly simple and almost any auto parts will carry them, but do yourself a favor and buy a good name brand and not a cheapy!   


  Hopefully this will help some.
