Why could be the reason or reasons the Thermo King APU on my Peterbilt does not start?
-
first you need to see if the module will power on, if it won’t, then you will have to go to TK and have the main fuse replaced, it is in the bottom of the the unit. It is something you cannot do yourself. If that fuse has blown, have the tech check the power lead for the starter, to make sure it isn’t grounding on the frame of the unit. I have had my Tripac for a year and a half now, and this is the only problem I have had with it to date. There is also a reset button on the side of the unit in the sleeper, it is on the left side of the unit, if you are looking at the hour meters fore the APU and the heater. Hope this helps.

Where can I get operation, service and repair manuals for my 2008 TriPac unit?
-
My husbands Thermo King APU comes on for a couple minutes, shuts off and will not come on again. What could be the reason for this.
-
My heater comes on runs as it should, then after 5-10 minutes shuts down. Yet will restart, if reset it at thermostat, and repeats this as long as I do.
-
Replace the screen in the glow plug socket and clean or replace the glow plug.

-
how do i place my apu in standby mode so that if battery voltage drains it will start. I turned on the main power and the apu switch but left mode blank. The apu just continues to run. somebody please reply.
-
can i put higher amp out on my tripac. in the range of 100amps?
-
Does anyone have the invertor troubleshooting information?
-
My TriPac drains my truck batteries instead of charging them. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
-
Have a tech check the alternator output

my unit will not power on and run. it gives me the ENG with a red light when I try to turn it on. I have reset the button under the bunk and it trys to start , then stops and kicks the switch. What else can I do to try to get this running ?????
-
same problem with new unit. sometimes works and other times kicks breaker. have had two dealers try to find problem but no sucess yet. 10,000 dollar gremlin

-
my apu unit turns on but it turns off after a couple of seconds,
-
Mine wont run. Show 303 then 442 then eng9 ? Just bought this truck and dont know much about the tripac.
-
I contacted salesman in IL ,he gave me quote on unit and installation of $10000, here price with install listed as $9295 ??? Why is that?
-
I have the thermo king tri pac and inverter. i have a small fridge and tv I run regularly and went to use a microwave for the first time and the inverter shut off and beeps. I have turned off and back on and it still wont work. I checked the breaker switch inbetween the plugs and theres a black looks like pop out fail safe but all are good. How can I get this back to working for me?
-
9000 for a APU is a over bloated price… I just bought one on EBAY , refurbed and ready to go for $3000. dont let TK jack you on pricing
-
you can by-pass that switch on the back to stop the relay "poping" off when you try to start unit. cut the old blue plug off and just butt connect the wires together.
