Hi. Sorry about that. I realized I had not named my trailer etc after I posted. We own a Keystone Passport 175 BH purchased in 2019 and has been only used for one long trip and 2 small ones. My husband was just months away from being a journeyman electrician so he knows how to check. He used a volt meter but kept getting weird readings. He then noticed it worked when the Bathroom light switch got turned on and it wouldn't when the switch was turned off. We know it was not working for most of those trips because we always leave the lights off. We also never heard a chirp. My husband found that it was wired to the bathroom light first and then to the switch and then to the detector. Wrong in so many ways. He knows how to rewire it properly as you said, directly to the battery. I hope people will check to make sure all is right in their units.
Have a great day!!!
