Cant activate engine while stowed

[Kettlec]

I tryed to land a vessel on mun and everything works fine untill I wanted to activate my engines for breking.

The ship has 3 identical engines but only 2 started and the last one keeps telling me, that I can not activate it while ist stowed.

I tryed several quickloads and all engines work in the space but near the surface one of them wont activate.

What does it mean, that it is stowed up and why are the other 2 identical engines working then? Or is it just a bug?

Is it near a service bay? I have heard of many issues with them because of the way they decide if they contain a part or not.

Not really...

The vessel has a service bay on the top, but thats nearly 10 metres away from the engine. There is a material-study-part in the middle of my 3 engines, but the oter two are doing fine.

I had a similar problem with a radial parachute, said it couldn't deploy while stowed, when the other one symetrical to it deployed fine. Was near the top of a command pod, nearest service bay was under the command pod.

Exact same thing happened to me. Radial parachute would not deploy "while stowed" whereas the symmetrically placed one opened fine.

I'm having the problem with a fairing. Even when the interstage is jettisoned it still says the engine is stowed.
