Wiring connection for 2014 T@B Alde manual control panel.

fxj350

I bought a 2014 T@B from some folks who had never really used it.  The Alde heater would not come on;   put new fuses in it since one was blown - but then discovered that the wiring harness that plugs into the controller (the simple, manual controller - not the electronic version) under the stove was not connected - just laying on the shelf.   The harness has 7 fewer female slots than there are pins on the controller to push them into.  So, I have no idea which pins it should go into.  I have actually tried it in every position, verified the fuses were still good, and the breaker on - but none of the positions resulted in firing the Alde up when the switches were moved to the correct position.   Does anyone have a 2014 or close model, with the manual control for the Alde, that you could take a picture of what pins the harness is connected into (you will have to remove the plastic cover over the harness on the inside of the cabinet under the stove).   Or just describe it to me - for example, the left edge of the harness connects to the far left pin, or the however it is connected.  At least then I will know the controller is correctly connected and can begin from there to try to diagnose why it won't come on.  Jimmy Wolf, Topeka KS

Some pictures would really help for us to see what you are seeing.

@fxj350 ; Welcome to the nuCamp TaB Family.  Great little trailers.

The Alde Analog Control Panel is a Type 3010 214
For the 10-wire connector the manual shows this orientation:

The attached PDF file has three pages of the installation manual that directly reference the 3020 214 panel.

On a related note, it sounds like you found the two small fuses on the top of the actual Alde unit (under the seat, lift off the top cover). I have a 2014 T@B CS-S and discovered that these 3Amp fuses blow very easily. Someone on the forum reached out to Alde and confirmed that it is safe to use a 5Amp fuse instead. Since making the change I’ve had a lot less issues. Still blows occasionally, so I keep extra fuses handy. It also helps to always turn the temp dial all the way down when turning on the heat then turn it up to the desired temp. The Alde system has a steep learning curve to understand how different it is from a typical RV furnace but once you do it is truly wonderful. 

I bought my T@B used 3 years ago and it feels like it took me two seasons to learn all the major ins and outs, mostly with help from this amazing forum. Feel free to DM me if you’ve got a 2014 specific question. Cheers!
