ELECTRICAL FEATURES
CIRCUIT BREAKER BOXES
For the Phaeton, the 120 VAC and 12 VDC breaker
boxes (Figure 9-2) vary depending on your specific
floorplan, however, in most floor plans, they are locat-
ed in the rear closet.
The circuit breakers and associated fuses are installed
to protect the electrical system of the Phaeton from
any overloads. Do not attempt to change the electrical
circuitry or to add appliances yourself.
The 120V breakers protect all appliances and 120V
outlets in the motorhome, such as: microwaves, air
conditioners, washer and dryer, vacuum cleaners, etc.
Fusing is provided for the following 12 VDC circuits: all interior decorative and overhead lighting, wa-
ter heater, TV switching box, slide-out lights, power roof vents, monitor panel and the passenger side
console switch panel.
Additional 12 VDC fuse panels are located in the front storage compartment on the driver’s side; these
fuse panels provide protection for the following circuits: mirrors, fog lights, hydraulic jacks, camera,
wipers, docking lights, dashboard panels, spot light, power seats, radio, step cover, satellite receiver,
30-ampere ignition breaker, 50-ampere ignition breaker, and dashboard air circuit breaker.
AUXILIARY START SWITCH
The auxiliary start switch (Figure 9-3) is located on the switch
panel to the left of the steering wheel in front of the driv-
er’s-side console box.
This switch connects the Phaeton coach batteries to the chas-
sis batteries—this allows the chassis batteries to “borrow”
power from the coach batteries to assist in starting the engine.
If the chassis batteries cannot start the engine by turning the
ignition key, hold down the battery-boost switch for at least
60 seconds and retry starting the engine.
When attempting to use the auxiliary start switch function, it
is recommended that the owner press and hold the switch for about 60 seconds before trying to start
the engine. This gives the two sets of batteries (house and chassis), a chance to equalize prior to engag-
ing the starter. The multiplex system that controls most chassis functions will need to reach optimal
voltage range to insure proper operation as well.
