I have been living in the Argosy and have it plugged in full time and hadn't realized that my Univolt battery is bad, only has about 4 volts - could that be the problem? I assumed that the Univolt system didn't matter when the RV is plugged in, maybe that's wrong?
Thanks.

Do you have a copy of the 74 Argosy Owners manual? In the manual there is a copy of how the wiring is laid out for the control panel. If you don't have a copy I can scan the wiring diagram and post it here.
If your coach still has the original univolt installed I would highly recommend replacing it with a
Progressive Dynamics 9645 power supply. The old univolts are notorious for over charging batteries which ruins them. The Progressive Dynamics are really good at maintaining a proper battery charge.
Since you are continuously plugged into shore power then your univolt was constantly charging the battery which I'm sure is what caused it to go bad.
I don't know that the univolt/battery issue is what's causing your control panel issues but getting the
12 volt system in order would be a good start.
