Hi ALANG,
Sounds like a standardized relay box that has unused positions. So, will a new relay fix the problem?
Thanks, Eagle5

There are several problems when we get into the chassis side of the electrical. First is to know that there are three distinct sections of the electrical in RV.

One is the normal 12VDC section that comes from the chassis builders to Winnebago. This is often very much like what we would find on the normal truck. But our frequent problem is that info is held very closely by the chassis builders and we struggle to get the best info!
That is where the relay you mention falls and why we have such a hard time getting the good info we need! Winnebago doesn't assume any responsibility for it as they are simply customers when they buy it!
Then there are the 12VDC for most of the RV items and the 110AC for running the outlets and higher power items like microwave and air conditioner.
Those groups are added to the stripped chassis by Winnebago and they do a good job putting enough info online for us to use.
We can dig out the differences in the RV sections which come with US or Canadian builds but we are pretty short on what they may do for UK or other countries which may use different voltages, etc.

that leaves your question being in very difficult areas for us to begin sorting the questions. First we have a hard time dragging it out of Ford or other chassis builders, then we have even less chance of getting the details on any different items for other countries.

At some point we get way too far into guessing to be much help!

yes a new relay fixed the problem
