    So my bunk heater stopped working completely, the fuel pump won’t click, the blower fan won’t run. I can’t get any codes since it’s hooked up to my tripac evolution which has no display, I don’t know where to even start, any help would be appreciated

    I’d look in the control box under the bunk for a blown fuse since it’s completely dead.

    You should have a usb cable out of control box download tri pac evolution program
    Plug it in and see what codes if any.
    Also did you check fuse in battery box?.
    Is controller completely dead?.
     
    Buckeyes614 Thanks this.

    The tripac works, ac works and the tripac does charge the batteries, but when I switch it to heat I get nothing, no fuel pump click and the blower fan doesn’t spin either, it’s a tripac evolution btw

    The controller works, I do have the tripac program in my laptop and theirs no codes unfortunately, I even tried the heat service test thru the laptop and it doesn’t come on either, all the fuses are good even the ones in the battery box, I wonder if the ecu on Espar is fried, is their a way to check the ecu?

    Are you getting power to the fuel pump?
    I have seen bunk heaters with a fuse for the pump. It was generally in the wiring bundle going to the heater.

    I haven’t checked the fuel pump yet, but even if the pump was bad, wouldn’t the blower fan come on at least then turn of once the system detects a problem
