Cougar Control Panel Replacement Awareness

All,

You need to make yourself aware of which fuse to pull to disable the electronic control panel in your RV.

It is no secret that Keystone (Cougars in particular) had issues with their electronic control panels that would stop working. For those of you who have replacement (other than the newer rocker switch) panels that seem to be working fine, be aware that the new problem is the switch will become active and won't shut off until the power is cutoff.

On three occasions over the past four weeks now it has occurred with two of my three slides and if you don't know how to cut the power, the slide just keeps going and going (ultimately causing undue wear and tear on the gears or cable systems) and at some point would cause the slide mechanism to just fail (or possibly worse).

So if you take your finger off the button and the slide keeps on going, you may want to be heading for the fuse box immediately!

Sorry if this is already out there and I missed it, then delete it. Just wanted to get this out there so you know and can be ready. It's not if, but more likely when... this occurs!
