LD installed in-dash Sony radio
The LD installed in-dash Sony radio on my '08 24' FL suddenly only powers on when I turn on the ignition. It no longer operates on the house batteries. Can anyone speculate as to what may have happened?

By turning on the ignition, do you mean starting the engine? If so, then perhaps you have a problem with the house batteries - if they are not holding a charge, then the radio will not work unless a charge voltage is present, in this case from the alternator.

The house batteries work fine. I just returned from a two week dry camping trip. The radio will only power on if I turn the ignition key to the ACC position (or start the engine). Any other ideas?

Has anyone one worked on your LD recently?
I can't think of any reasonable way this could happen without rewiring the radio's power supply.

I finally have the answer as to how my in-dash radio switched from house battery to chassis battery power. I am almost embarrassed to say the circuit breaker behind the house battery compartment flipped. Why I still had  12v power to everything else (while boondocking for 2 weeks) remains a mystery for me.

Consider it a learning experience.

Now, you need to find out why 12-volt power is still available inside the coach and to make sure it is properly fused.
It would also be interesting to learn why the breaker was flipped.
Are you the original owner?

Failed isolator? I agree that this definitely needs to be tracked down!
