I am looking for advice where the control box is located holding the 3 cruisair trigger switches on my 2006 Sundancer 40. The front state room AC won't activate the water pump relay.

I did a search at the forum and found a thread which indicates this control box is behind the main distribution panel.

Can anyone confirm this?
If you take the main panel off, do you have enough enough wire length behind it to pull the panel out to work in the control box?

Do these cruisair switches just plug in?

The local cruisair repair tech told me these switches are about $65. Is that in the ball park?

Here is question #2 somewhat related. The cruisair blower fan, on the same 2006 Sundancer 40, in the main salon is loud. Oddly, if you decrease the fan speed, the fan gets even louder. The same cruisair repair tech told me to replace this fan with a better quality replacement is $500 for the blower fan alone. 4+ hr of labor to access behind the refrigerator, etc. I have a hard time justifying a $1000 to get a more quiet fan. Any thoughts on this?
 
I've learned the Cruisair control box is located behind the Salon main electrical distribution panel. You remove the (2) screws and the panel swings forward. The panel is hinged on the bottom.

The "trigger" consists of a relay and capacitor soldered to a 2 led green circuit board. You can find the relay for sale online for $8. The Cruisair trigger costs $55 in MN. So, if you want to solder, you can save big money.

i'll deal with my noisy salon AC blower in the offseason.
