Pacbrake control
Hi All I have a 96 country coach on a Gillig chassis and has a Pacbrake. My question is the switch ia a off-on-on toggle, can anyone tell me what the 2 positions are? The dash light only comes on in...

It has factory switch, wires to all the contacts and turns something on in both positions because i can hear ut with the engine off. Gillig said one position was for retarding and the other just the exhaust brake, thats what the schematic showed. They just don't know which and how to operate the different settings.
Sounds like the first order of business, is determining exactly what kind of brake you have.
Are you sure that it's an exhaust brake, rather than an engine brake?
Are you sure that it was made by PAC or possibly JACOBS, instead?
The latter would be better and JACOBS (JAKE) seems to have a larger market share, over PAC, for the engine brakes, which usually have two stages.
