    I recently purchased a 2017 Fleetwood Jamboree.  The Aux Battery switch won't turn off.  It was working and I could hear a relay engage/disconnect when the switch was turned off. Now the switch does not turn off and I no longer hear the relay when I turn it off.  Any suggestions.?

    Thanks,

    We have a 2014 Bounder, my first thought would be to pull the switch plate off and 

    take a look to see if a wire became disconnected from the rear of the switch. If 

    your handy have a voltage tester handy and check for voltage at the switch.

            Good Luck, Don

    I did this but still have the same problem.  Is the relay fused?  If so is it one of the fuses in the battery box?

    The prior reply gave a good suggestion.  Pick up a cheap voltage tester and see if there is power running to the switch itself.   Test it with switch in both positions.     From one side of the switch to the other, and from each side to ground.   Let us know what you find out and we can go forward from there.  You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on the multimeter unless you aspire to be an electrician.  Something like the one attached should do.

    We found the problem. Blown 5amp fuse in battery box under the entry steps. Thanks to all that replied.
