Stay In Play Duo Stopped Working, Fixed Vacuume Line
Question:
Installed in a 2014 Cherokee just over 4 years ago. It has stopped working for the third time now. The first time the cable on the brake pedal broke improper installation. The second time a vacuum hose came off inside the compression box, Now there is no apparent reason. All we have found is that there is less than 2 volts of power getting to box. Need to be leaving the mountains soon and really it to be working.

Expert Reply:
Thank you for reporting the additional information that you found the vacuume line at the box end wasn't holding pressure so you clipped off 3/8" to get fresh connection. Also that you found that low voltage is only an issue when the towing vehicle was not running.
Checking voltage is made easy with the Performance Tools # PT89ZR Digital Multimeter. Even if you already own a voltage meter, the very reasonable price of this unit means you can buy an extra one to keep with your RV for when you need a meter on the road.
