LCI 8 function remote

SeanRN · 07-07-2016, 07:01 PM

Bought new Cruiser. Supposed to come with 8 function remote. No remote at delivery. Dealer sent remote. Used PDF I downloaded from here to program. Only porch light comes on. Called Lippert to ask about programming. Lippert told me to call manufacturer. Manufacturer should be able to tell me what is wired to circuit board in which order based on VIN. Called Crossroads who told me to call Lippert or call the dealer. The dealer is useless. Does anyone have any other ideas? The guy at Crossroads couldn't get me off the phone fast enough.

Not sure if this is different or not, but here is another pdf of directions to program.

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble getting everything programed. When it comes to knowing where things are wired to the controller all depends on who is wiring it that day, they are probably the only one that would know for sure. Below is part of my post from one of your other threads. Maybe you can use it to help figure out what is wired to which position. That's about the only help I can provide. The next time I am over at our trailer I will try to take a closer picture of our controller and maybe you can compare it to yours.

You could always look at the wire color on the board and then check the wire colors on the switches and hope that they used the same wire colors going to the motors.

Thanks Mark. That's a different board and remote.

SeanRN · 07-08-2016, 02:28 PM

Lippert also told me I need the pin code?

Sorry I wasn't able to get this to you sooner but haven't been over to the trailer in awhile. Here is the way mine is set up (yours might very) but might give you an idea of how yours is set up. Since you have a brand new remote you might have to assign each function a fuse location when you are doing the configuration. I'm sorry but I didn't think about checking my remote to see which fuse is used for what. I would assume that the slides will be on the 30amp (#1), stabilizers the 20amp (#2), awning 15amp (#3), and lights the 10amp (#4).

As for the pin code on your remote, if you haven't changed it then I believe it should just be 0000. I hope this info helps you out!

Mine may be different as I have the linctab tablet but it had all the numbers on the router inside under the tv.

I wonder if the wiring going into the control panel switches inside the coach match the ones going into the board? Campingcpl thanks for all your effort.

try 0000 thats what they program it with.

daynawide · 04-29-2017, 06:52 PM

mine did not work so I replaced the 30 amp fuse and it worked.There is also a reset button on the top of the panel.

SeanRN · 04-30-2017, 07:29 AM

Found the reset button, that didn't work. The only thing that works is the light over the door.

daynawide · 04-30-2017, 07:51 AM

Check the green 30amp fuse.

At the remote panel? Where the reset button is?

I am having the same issues as posted in another thread.
My awning does work as does the light in the awning, however the two slides on mine do not function with the remote.

While doing the PDI I could have sworn the salesman used the remote to operate the slides as well as the other options, however the PDI was a bit overwhelming and rushed through so I did not personally operate the remote.

I worked on it a short time yesterday and I hear the relays tripping with no result. I too am going to have to look into this over the next few weekends, however more pressing things have taken president.

As I trouble shoot this issue I will post the result as I think these things are not correct on many rigs and people are just using the buttons on the panel to operate the different systems in the camper.

This is the last issue I have had with my 17 Rezerve, so far I think its a fine unit, but these little kinks are always troublesome. At the very least the unit is usable without the remote, however since it was already in the camper I intend to get full functionality from it as well as wiring other features to it.

And I will do the same. Thank you

I found this on a Forest River forum. Seems to be an issue over there too.
By the way he was having the same issues we are.

He said in his post that he noticed an arching trail on one side of his fuses in the control panel. Apparently the arching was causing a high resistance and not allowing his unit to work. He cleaned the fuse ends and reinserted them and all functionality was returned.

I am going to look into this, but thought I would pass along some information as we bang our heads on the wall.

SeanRN · 05-02-2017, 12:26 PM

Thanks for the update.

I haven't noticed an arching. I was happy to get the outside light working! I'm hoping to get to it this weekend.

I called Crossroads who referred me to LCI who referred me to Crossroads....

The hunt for the source of truth goes on.

I should be getting to mine this weekend as well, still have to work for the man during the week.

I am concerned about this fuse blowing issue as I have heard from several people in my quest for knowledge. Some have increased the size of the fuse to allow this issue to go away.
What concerns me is the current draw on the whole circuit; is the wiring to small or is the motor sized to low for the task needed? I know the current draw is in minutes and not continuous, however if that motor is small the life span with be short because the duty cycle is to high.

I think I am going to get my unit functioning and look into the current draw later. I would really like all the systems to function before I tackle another potential issue. Changing to many things at once will add more questions in functionality going forward.

The saga continues.
