Found the problem. The European wiring side of the the two relays (L turn & R turn) have their own positive feed and were back feeding to the US wiring side. I disconnected the positive wires on the European side of the relay (which I will never use) and problem solved.
Art:
You are correct about special LED diodes. The turn and brake use the same LED’s, The brakes use full voltage and the turn uses a reduced voltage. The new special diodes do the voltage conversion.

Blue line is bolt for factory panel. Thought was going to have to dissemble walls to access valve cover but Royale did a great big upgrade.

Try swapping the sensors inner with outer and see if it might be sensor?

assuming you have dometic low profile duotherm roof airs? Take the cover off and there is a drain hose connected on each end of the evaporator condensation catch tray. Each hose exits below the bus. Disconnect each drain hose and blow low pressure air thru each.
I had 4 Monaco tag axle coaches (98, 99, 00, & 02) and that’s how it was done.

Congrats! 40’s are the best if you can fit what you need.

Where the 2: 6 port Norgren’s valves for rear leveling are mounted on rear bulkhead which is at the rear of the bus in front of the drive wheels, above the Norgren’s if raise bus up fully with air bags and support rear crawl up under and look foward you will see both 6 port Norgren’s and keep going up and Prevost installed I think 3: 4inch pvc pipes that travel full length not counting suspension, Sorry I don’t have any pictures

In 2003 Aqua Hot moved their hot water coils from outside the boiler to the inside the boiler with the antifreeze , That was a good idea but if you got a leak in the heating coil you could drink antifreeze, So that’s when they started using Polyethlene glycol antifreeze just in case. In 13 years I’ve only had 1 Aqua Hot replacement due to hot water coil leak, It did the same thing but overflow was at Aqua Hot overflow tank.

quick follow up:
1. Instead of a fuse, ours has an 8 amp breaker located above the steering compartment. The wire is labeled AF.
2. It only gets power when the key is turned -which explains why I was not getting voltage at the coils.
3. In our case – one side of the air floor is not working. Next step is to swap coils to test the coils/test the valve.
Hopefully we can replace a valve and/ or a coil and get the air step back in service.
Thanks for all of the help.

The big pieces are going back where they belong 🙂

Captain, I choose 48v because there are a lot more inverter options and it’s generally more efficient. I am using a Schneider Conext XW Pro, which is good for 6.8kW continuous and can go to something like 12kW for 30 seconds. I can run all 3 of my roof airs on this.
I do not have a 48v alternator, and the ones I have seen are super expensive. Right now I am not charging the battery from the alternator (I have a 12v 50DN and a 24v something else).
The primary method for charging the 48v battery while driving will likely be a 12v to 48v converter(s), possibly multiples of these: https://www.vicorpower.com/products?productType=cfg&productKey=NBM2317S60D1565T0R
I also have a 24v to 48v converter from Mean Well, SD-1000L-12, which I intend to use on the 24v alternator/battery, but it will be more of a backup.
Another option would be to see if I can get the 50DN to output ~54 volts. Others have demonstrated modifying the field coil control to get a 12v alternator to do ~48v. Not sure I want to experiment with a 50DN on this, would at least want a spare.

Had a claim with Progressive a couple of years ago. They paid without issue and claims adjuster was familiar Prevost.
Needless to say my rates went up. This will be the 3rd year since the claim and rates are supposed to go down after the 3rd year. Not holding my breath on that.

In many states, glass breakage has no affect on premiums or losses.

Rudy I don’t. Brian Esler had a thread on replacing headlights awhile ago.
