V3005 Main AC Not Kicking On

I have a 2017 Voltage V3005, and the main AC will not kick on. The bedroom works fine. I tried resetting the fuse already. Has anyone else had this issue? The unit makes a clicking noise like it's getting power, but then nothing. I am going camping this weekend, and it's supposed to be pretty warm! Can anyone on here help me troubleshoot? The thermostat says Dometic, so I'm guessing that's the brand for both units...

Did you check to make sure the main AC breaker is flipped ON and not kicked off?

Never mind....I see it says you checked the fuse. I assume that means the breaker. Is the thermostat picking up zone 1? Did you take down the shroud vent cover and check the brain to make sure the AC power connnector is plugged all the way into the brain?

Try to initialize the thermostat again? (Pressing zone & mode at the same time)

You can also run the diagnostic mode which is pressing fan, program, f/c at the same time.

01-03 should force fan on low, med, high
04 forces compressor on
I think 12 checks for 110v

Let me know if any error codes pop up. I could probably help. Sometimes the brains can go bad.

Okay, so I pulled the shroud on the roof and found nothing wrong. Then I pulled the grill in the living room down. Sure enough, one of the male/female plugs was not fully made up. After fixing that, the unit fired right up! I NEVER get that lucky. Thank you for all of your suggestions. At least now I know how to run a diagnostic on the units!

Can this not be a Sticky? Great info here. My middle A/C wasn't cooling, compressor not kicking in and I followed this just on a whim yesterday and poof initializing fixed it. Thanks DutchemneClassic, you saved the day.

Yep, same with mine from new, plug not in tight. Also the 4" j-box was not fastened to anything laying across the space above the filter blocking a third of the air flow. I quick fixed it with wire ties.
