I have a 2006 Fleetwood pace arrow on the workhorse chasse when I was on my way to Florida stopped to get gas when I went to move I could move the shifter gear nothing would happen the service brake light was on but the brake was not on called Good Sam roadside the motor home was towed into a service outlet they found that the fuse for the service brake light was gone replace the fuse that fixed it for this it cost $1400.00 can anyone tell me where would this fuse be located and next what would make the fuse to blow if it happens again I would save myself $1400.00 tried to get information from the machanic only would tell me the fuse operated a hydrolic pump somthing about the transmition

So a mechanic worked on it, but wouldn't show you what he did? I'd have a problem with that.

Where we you when this happened to you?

Surely there has to more to this story than just a fuse.I know that some dealers might try to charge more than required, but I can't imagine they would have told you they charged that much to replace a fuse?

$1400.00 for a fuse! That has to be the most expensive fuse in automotive history.Did they not do something else, or did the Canadian plate say....thank you

Just where was this service outlet located and who were they? I want to remove it from my map!! If that state has regulated, licensed, service garages, I would be reporting them to the regulatory agency in that state. i.e. NYS does: Know Your Rights in Auto Repair. But not all states do. An you should be complaining to your Good Sam rep about this!!! Good Sam Roadside Assistance - Ask Marcus

I got caught in a new rental car once that had the autobrake system. No levers to push etc... I had nosed into a parking spot and when I was ready to back out could not release the brake. Finally grabbed a passer by and he put the car in drive and the brake released just fine. I never thought of that haha... I was wanting to back up instead.

Had similar problems when the new cars came out with all the light controls on the steering column haha... Guess we suppose to read the books...

I don't know where that fuse is located or what it protects, but I sure would of had the mechanic show me where it was located for the next time. I would of questioned the $1400 repair bill for that fuse, even with troubleshooting I feel that is kind of high. JMO

Perhaps much of the $1,400 was for the call out and the towing?

Perhaps your insurance will cover part of that charge?

I'm guessing this was one of the P series chassis and that you had a problem with the Autopark brake. There are a few components that go bad but none of then should cost $1400 to replace. This was probably a case of an untrained mechanic charging you by the hour to LEARN about the system. Here is one link:
