RV Red Warning Light: How to Identify Unknown Electrical Components

Woke up to find my RV's mystery electrical component glowing red instead of the green light the manual promised, and I can't even figure out what this thing is! In the picture I uploaded, you can see the component with the red warning light that just started appearing recently. I'm pretty sure that's not a good sign, right?

The chassis has 8 lug wheels, not 10. I'm having trouble finding the right replacement wheels that match E450/E550 specifications and want to make sure I get the correct specs before ordering. …more
