  • Cruise air quit

    Posted by Karl on June 8, 2014 at 6:40 pm

    Ok so my cruise air was running and out of the blue it quit first I checked and the breaker was kicked so of course I reset the breaker heard the A/C start to come on then surged off and on for a second then nothing during this time I was unable to see if the display was working or not. Since then I have tried switching breakers which did not help. If any could tell me a next step to diagnosis it would be greatly appreciated. 94 XL SS Marathon.

    Thanks in advance, Karl

    with the breaker tripping then it sounds as if the compressor is the fault. You can test at condensing unit with a amp meter.

    So being fairly new to Prevost (owner for one year) I had trouble finding the control box that being said I knew the condensers were in the spare tire area behind the bumper so I started from that end and worked backwards. I found A/C voltage getting to the junction box before the control boxes but not at the control box after opening the junction box I found some rather burned wires causing the problem just to check for damage I temporarily put the wires together and checked operation everything else checks ok at this point the previous owner had just had this particular unit replaced shortly before my purchase and it appears to have been a bad connection that was made. The proper repairs will be made shortly and we will be in the cool in no time already 94 degrees here in Florida.

    Thanks for the help Karl
