Title: HydroHot Control Panel

The light bulb in the switch controlling the electric heating function of the HydroHot has burned out. This is the panel above the entry door, not the one in the bay.
The switch itself does not appear to be removable through the front of the panel. The four bolts and nuts holding this small panel containing just the three switch pukas are inaccessible to remove. Can't get a purchase on the nuts for removal/reinstallation.
It appears the only alternative is to remove the entire panel. Has anyone replaced the bulb(s) in any of these switches without removing the large control panel?

Thanks

Chuck

I have replaced the entire switch a few times. Now CC is putting a diode in series with the lamp to drop the voltage 1.4 volts. The newer 2004 coaches use switches with light emitting diodes , but I talked to the Hydro hot people and the new switches have a different wiring harness. ANY ONE HAVING TROUBLES WITH ERRATIC HOT WATER TEMPS. Seems the low temp sensor can be wrong or defective.!!!!! TWI Intrigue 11731 2004 Ovation

Chuck,

Keep me posted on the switch, my bulb also quit over the weekend for no reason. Mine is easy to get out by pulling the panel above the door, but sounds like yours in a bad spot. I'm calling Vehicle Systems on Monday and inquire about a new switch, will let you know.

-----The 3rd time my light went out on the Hydro-Hot board over the door, Country Coach replaced it with a different type lighted switch and it has worked fine since.
