Rocky,
My coach is a couple of years older than yours but may be similar in many ways.
I’m not at the coach until later today when I will look up the circuit numbers for your lights.
But first, there are two master switches by the passenger seat/entry door location. One is for the general lighting in the coach and the other is for the Tivoli lights. The under counter edge and table as well as ceiling flexible tube lights are known as Tivoli lights in my coach. Are you sure you haven’t inadvertantly pushed the wrong one?
If you can confirm that one switch works and the other doesn’t, then you probably are looking at a relay problem. Each of the switches controls a relay in the separate circuit.
Anyway, while you are checking that out, I will get the circuit numbers from my wiring diagrams -
Thanks Bob, the eyes are getting old. I checked my cell phone, and you are correct – 364. Did you get a price on pads? From memory, seems like the tag took the same pad part number as the steer. But my memory is as old as my eyes.

need to change 363 to 364 I can’t change your post Thanks Bob

Bob, Don’t take this as the gospel because I am going by memory, but I believe the differences in pads, hence the two part numbers is because they are different thicknesses based on whether the pad is an inside or outside pad. Since they are sold in sets I suspect most folks ignore the different part numbers. Without looking I cannot tell you which is the thicker pad position.
Don’t hesitate to call Prevost with questions. They have always answered questions and they might be able to head you in the right direction. As a further comment I have had great luck with Prevost Parts in Elgin getting trade numbers for parts. The parts guys are knowledgible and if the information is available to them they share the generic part numbers.

I purchased A SCI – DR200 Vehicle Black Box Camera and A SCI – SD1600 / 16GB SD Card thru, Spy Chest Inc 210 S Main Street Clearview Florida 32536 / wwwspytechs.com / email admin@spytechs.com / Phone # 850 682 0083 I will show mine to anyone at the POG rally. You can see your self outside and inside the coach and listen to the conversation inside the coach. WATCH WHAT YOU SAY (g)

It is a spin on filter base with a blockng plate added. Under the knurled cap is a refrigeration fitting through which the fuel system is pressure primed.
This pump is home made from an cheap general purpous sprayer from Home Depot and a refrigeration fill hose from NAPA.

The box should work so that the steering has full pump pressure at low speeds and the assist is lessened as the speed increases. This is so you get more “road” feel at higher speeds.
The system works with an ECU (electronic control module) which is located in the front electrical compartment below the driver’s window. It looks like a tall relay but it has ZF on the marking on the outside of the unit. This ecu plugs into a relay base and can be removed by pulling it up.
The box receives pwer and ground and a speed signal from the chassis and there is a two wire harness that goes from the unit to the connector on the steering gear box. The system works by varying the signal on the wires to the steering gear and causing the steering gear to bypass assist presssure.
First check to see that the unit is well installed and there are no backed out pins in the ECU base and that the connector at the steeering gear is well connected and the harness appears to have no defects.
If you remove the ECU from its base and you drive the vehicle you will find reduced power assist across all speeds as it defaults to a mid range. Therefore it would require more effort to turn the steering at low speeds and reduced assist at all speeds up the speed range. If you do this you can find out if the lack of assist you feel is what yoiu then would feel with the module removed. It may be that the connections are not good or open as the vehicle heats and the circuits heat and it opens the circuit and you loose the normal assist.
Try it and see.

Bruce,
If I were you, I would pull the cord on a small window and pull the outside lip back and see if there is sealant clumps in the rubber seal used on the windows. If there is, which is probably the case, then pull the glass and clean all the sealant off. You might think it’s easier to just buy new windows and rubber seals but it comes off. Do one and the next three will be a lot easier.
On my 86 chassis the rubber was starting to break down, i.e. the lip of the seal was seperating in an area on the outside portion in a 8 inch area, (they were 20 years old), so I bought new rubber seals and filler strips back in 07 or 08
I have always put my own glass in our bus since 1998 and have never used any kind of sealant and they have never leaked. A good rubber seal and filler strip will seal the glass up just fine.
I you need help getting the tools let me know.

Bruce,
If you have to replace the speedo Davidson Sales has the VDO line of speedometers and they have the ability to progam your original mileage into certain models.

I have also had problems trying to figure out the usable fuel. I have a 40′ CC that has two tanks. I am going to say 160 and 90 gallon. Thats what I have been told by numerous sources. I have the Silver Leaf glass dash which has had a fuel gauge problelm since day one. I installed a manual Prevost gauge and disconnected the Silver Leaf gauge to try to get more accurate readings. When my readings are around an 1/8 of a tank I can stop and fill up and only take around 190 gallons. On a 250 gallon tank, 1/4 of a tank should be about 62.5 gallons, right. I have run it dry before and only put in 212 gallons. The Prevost gauge doesn’t seem to move till you have used about 100 gallons, so doing all this math keeps me confused. I am guesing the fuel pick up for the engine will not use all the fuel but leave somewhere between 1/8 and 1/4 of a tank. None of this is taking into account any generator use. My info on the generator says it will stop running at about 1/4 of a tank. I can fill from either side of the coach and when I fill up, I fill to the neck and wait for the air pockets to clear out. (I think) From under the coach I have seen the two tanks, one big tank and connected with about a 2 inch hose is another tank which runs what looks like between bays from one side to the other. Any thoughts??????

Thanks, repoer, that would be great.

Thanks Tom… I am hoping it will keep anyone else from going throught same thing !!

Tire fires on the duals because of low tire pressure. Thus, the walk around at every stop. IR therm. to check tire surface and hub temps. Anything out of kilter shows up quick.
These fires are bad as most of the material of the wheel tub front on H’s is plastic and that which is aluminum will burn.
I don’t think you can carry enough extinguishers plus your house water to put one of these out.
