  • Electrical Problem I Think

    Posted by Richard on September 5, 2013 at 3:09 pm

    Today, I shut down the engine while refueling and when I started it back I had no Tach, speedometer, headlights, turn signals or emergency flashers. I’m think I’ve lost a relay or two. Any thoughts on this that can help me?

    Richard, it’s a PITA tracing wires across multiple files on a computer screen. I can’t see a common failure point with everything that quit at the same time. You might want to first check the circuit breakers inside the passenger’s side engine door on the far right side. These control several things each, but likely would control more than what you have not working.

    I am shooting from the lip with this response but I am too tired to even look anything up. Vaccuum bagging and freezing 100# of lobstah is hard work, and to add to the burden we just got done with fine wine and several lobster’s for dinner.

    So Richard……..this is a guess.

    That sounds like the rear start switch might be worth cycling a few times to see if that has an impact. When you go to rear start you lose the dash so the switch is the starting point. I think there is a relay in the rear electrical box that closes when you turn the ignition on with the key. That would be my next guess.

    If I am lucky I gave you a starting point to chase the issue.

    Jon,

    As always you are on target – even when exhausted and juiced! It was a breaker in the rear of the coach next to the battery shut offs. I reset it but Bill Jensen recommended changing it since it had tripped. I’ll do that next week at Prevost in Nashville. Thanks Jon!

    Richard, I was right. Which one was it?

    Gil,

    It was the 12 volt(front) breaker at the rear of the coach next to the battery shut offs. Thanks for your help.
