In the process of purchasing a converted (RV) 2005 T1N 3500 (158 in WB). It's in the driveway and I have been reading all I can on the forum about the new critter!! Lots of fun and lots of questions and answers found on the site. And thanks in advance to all of you experts out there! I think you are all amazing!
But... I'm baffled about the booster heater on my Sprinter. I accidentally found the Espar behind the driver side headlight (I was really trying to find out how many amps my alternator put out (still working on that one). I got all excited about finding the Espar (I was thinking about the mods for having it come on while camping). So, I read the owner's manual and all the post related to turning the booster heater on.
The control that I have has the snow flake icon on top and I can push that while the engine is running and it lights up (AC)?. On the bottom is the "rest" indicator and I can press that with the engine off or on and it lights up. With the engine off the fan blows (but I don't think the Espar starts). Now, in the manual there is are wavy lines and a light on the left of the control. Those are absent on my control but I think that there may be a light (just not an icon). But when I push on the center (Horizontal) button it does not feel like it wants to or is supposed to turn anything on.
So, here is the question. Do you think the control is broke or do I not have the option of turning on the booster heater at this control? If I can't turn on the Espar from this control, then how does the Espar get turned on?
Thanks in advance for any help you all provide. And I also apologize in advance if I am breaking any forum etiquette (this is my first post to this type of forum).
