cant reach the fuse box!
Anyone ever have to deal with this?
OK this is crazy; I hope someone can get me out of the twilight zone.
Our coach, a 1999 Fleetwood Flair 34D is being prepared for full timing. I am in the process of sorting out the wiring and getting acquainted with whatever quick fixes the prior owner may have patched over. I know the fuse box is located just under the dash to the left of the brake, that’s no problem. I have worked on hundreds of vehicles in my life and squiggled and wormed my way under dashes to gain access.
In this case I don’t see any other way to get at fuse box except to remove the driver’s seat! OK I have put on a few pounds over the years but at 6’2” 225lb I would think I was still able to squeeze past whatever I have to on this big coach.
After trying to squeeze by sideways on both sides and then putting the seat back down and laying upside down then sliding down the seat onto the floor I found myself trapped, nearing a panic attack and in need of assistance, the DW heard my call for help and did the best she could to pull me out even when I was down there, head down legs straight up the back of the seat I still could not effectively test the fuses.
I am convinced that seat removal pedestal and all is what has to be done but I just can’t picture doing that some night along the road somewhere. If there’s enough wire I might relocate to whole fuse box one direction or another.
