regulator not turning to red
Good day all. On my 2017 sprinter fifthwheel i noticed my regulator not turning back to red after i filled it up. Also, i tryed the second tank by switching it over and it stills shows open. I turned the burners on they look good and all has a good flame.
Any help would be much apprechated . Thanks

The window will be green if the regulator “pointer” is pointed to a cylinder that has propane in it and the valve is open.
Red indicates an empty cylinder, so I’m not sure I follow your question.
Fill both cylinders, turn both valves open and set the pointer to one or the other. The window should be green. When that cylinder runs out, the window should turn red. At that time, turn the indicator to the full tank and the window should turn back to green. Fill the empty cylinder and then put it back on, hook up the line and turn it on. Window should stay green until the tank it’s pointed to is empty and turns red.
At that time, turn the indicator back to the tank you filled and it should turn green. Remove the empty cylinder, fill it and put it back on, hook up the line and open the valve.

Huh? - As posted above, the regulator should show green when the tanks are full and red when empty.
So, you're playing with us - right?

Shouldn't the regulator switch over to the full tank automatically?

If both cylinders are open, then yes and the "window" turns red. The INDICATOR does NOT MOVE.
