Docking / curb light fuse
Posted by Reagan on January 10, 2015 at 7:02 pmWhile I was cleverly exchanging out all 12 of my docking / curb lights for LEDs, I shorted out the right curb light string and cannot find the fuse. In the Country Coach, we have a modular board in the first bay that I assume houses the fuse. All fuses seem to be o k. Does anyone have guidance as to the location of the fuse for the curb lights?
Thank you,
Pres

Don’t know but think all my systems have push button breakers on my 1991 XL. To left of driver in compartment and some above engine in back. My brake lights will quit sometimes with tow car and push button breaker above engine will be tripped. But then again, mine is not a Country Coach.

Pres,
If I remember my CC days, each button is controlled by the boards in the ECC. Remove the plexiglass and check the fuses, there are a bunch of them, 30 or 40 I think.

Pres.,
Each of the cards in the ECC is numbered as well as the wires. In my 2002CC the curb lights are on the ECC SP 225A card. The drivers side lights are wire #257D and passenger side is #257P. You should easily see the fuses and LED indicator lights associated with all of the cards in the ECC. My coach is not at the house so I can’t say if it is on the front or back side of the board. If you have to swing the board out to check it, the bolt to release the board is on the right side of the ECC cabinet. It is not difficult but the wires seem very fragile to me so I use great caution. It may not apply at all but I would also check the GFI in your bay. Mine is in my second bay passenger side. Good luck with the search. I hope this is of some help.

Thanks to everyone… I am the proverbial person when up to their bohunkass in alligators, forgot the objective was to drain the swamp!.The project to change out the curb light festoon bulbs has become much more complicated…the LEDs received are great…the issue is that the wires on them are extremely, extremely small and I can’t work with them easily. I have removed all of the fixtures from the coach, etc and believe I will go to a local professional hobby shop and seek to have their technician wire the light harnesses, solder them, etc. I can build a big thumper 454 Chevy “rat” motor blindfolded but something like this gets me off center.
Thanks again everyone.

Did bay light LED change over on 2 buses. Could you post a picture.
I was able to locate festoon that went right in. Is this the housing ?

Hey Reagan on my 99 it is card in slot #8 in the ECC cabinet. I think is is the upper fuse on the card for the right hand lights.
There are several fuses on the card and if the little litght is green that means you have power to the circuit and when the other light turns red it is sending power to the lights.
If you need any further info just let me know, glad to help.

Thanks again… I will look for the correct ECC board and will also look for the slot 88 as described… I am confident I will find them and will get the offending fuse replaced.
To Al:
I acquired a rectangular LED with 24 diodes on it with two wires soldered to the back. I am making a bracket to combine two of these for each curb light. Therefore, I have to combine both positive wires and negative wires …and them run them on their own positive and negative wires to the appropriate posts in the light fixture… Gil did tthis on his coach and they look great….he just knows about ten times more about this than I do…
My problem is that the wires on the LED are 22 gauge or 24…they are very tiny and I did not have the equipment or talent to work with them. I could not get them to solder, etc. Therefore, I removed the light fixtures (24) from the coach and took them to a technician at a very reputable hobby shop. We are rewiring the LEDs with an 18 guage wire and then making the bracket to combine the two LEDs per fixture. We are attaching the bracket to the negative / positive posts of the fixture and soldering everything in place, We are then testing each bracket for proper functioning via providing power through the disconnect bracket in the back of the fixture.
Upon completion of this effort, we should be able to re-install the fixtures and hopefully turn on the lights.
As I said, I can build a “rat ” motor but cannot deal with small electronics. I admire those of you who can… it takes a talent. I have the patience but not the talent.
This whole thing is only somewhat short of the theory of relativity. I will provide pictures at my earliest convenience.
To make things even more interesting…I ordered only 2 dozen of these lights…when they arrived, the vendor had delivered 12 DOZEN… of course, they will be returned but it was a surprise to see 144 of these things when we opened the box.
Thanks again…

Good luck and that card number was eight (8) not 88.
Need any more help I will be glad to help.
