A little more specific.  Open the center console door and remove the cabinet floor.  Mine has 4 square drive screws hidden in the gray carpet fuzz.

I need to access that module on my 95 U320, is it located in the same place as this model coach?

On my '99 the panel holding the controllers will lift straight up without taking the front off.

Kieth wish the dip switch picture was clearer, I would just follow what you did. Mine is still set to shut off too early

The voltage settings are done by the potentiometers, not the dip switches.  You have to set them by reading the voltage on the loop next to them, and add 10V.  So 1.9V + 10V = 11.9V threshold.

I had a friend set mine a year or so ago and then I leave it off but it is all set now if I need it.
