charge the chassis batteries as well. This “Bi-Directional” operation works to keep both sets of batteries
charged to capacity, regardless of whether it is in transit, or parked with incoming AC current.
12 Volt DC Circuit Protection
House Circuits
The “house” fuse panel is located in a cabinet in the bathroom. This panel contains fuses for most of the
Newmar installed 12 volt DC accessories, including interior lighting, vents and fans, and so on. The fuse
panel uses conventional “spade” type automotive DC fuses. Fuse amperage is labeled on the end of the
fuse for easy viewing and replacement.
IMPORTANT
NEVER replace a fuse with a higher amp capacity fuse than was originally installed. This compromises the
circuit protection by allowing more amperage
to flow through than the circuit was designed for, and could lead to failure of the component being operated,
overheating of the wiring, or fire. Always use the same amperage fuse when replacement is necessary.
The “dash” fuse panel is located in the left front exterior compartment. This panel contains relays and
fuses that protect Newmar installed dash accessories, including dash lights, blower fan, auxiliary
accessory ports, and more. This panel uses standard “spade” type automotive fuses. The relays on this
circuit board are not replaceable; they are permanently mounted to the circuit board and should be
inspected only by a qualified technician prior to having any work done to them.
Chassis Circuit Protection
The chassis 12 volt DC circuit protection is located in two primary areas on your King Aire. First, the
front electrical panel, with fuses and relays, is located in the LF basement compartment, along with the
Newmar dash fuse panel.
This panel consists of fuses and relays that control engine start up and operating functions. It is
recommended that these circuits be serviced ONLY by a trained Spartan chassis technician.
The first basement compartment aft of the right rear tires houses the chassis diagnostic center. This
service area contains diagnostic ports, relays, and circuit protection for the engine and transmission. This
compartment should be serviced ONLY by a trained Spartan chassis technician.
Batteries
As previously mentioned, your King Aire has two different sets of batteries. One set of batteries operates
the Newmar installed “house” lights and accessories, and the other set starts the engine and operates the
“chassis” electrical systems. Though similar in function, they are distinctly different battery types and
arrangements.
Replacement batteries should be the same as was replaced. Any time one battery in a set of batteries is to
be replaced, it is important to have all the batteries in the system tested to assure all are okay. If one
defective battery is replaced, while leaving another weak or defective battery, lowered performance, or
ultimately damaging the new or good batteries can be the result.
