sailswitch location

I have a 2004 HiLo trailer and my heater is not working, blows air but no heat, worked good last year but not now. what I am looking for is PICTURES of where to look for the sailswitch. I have tried YouTube and they tell how to fix it but not where its as to even see it. If I can see where it is I can decide to either do myself or get a pro. I believe its a suburban and its a small trailer only 22 ft s the heater is not large. I hope someone can help me with PICTURES.
Thank you, this webpage has always been helpful in the past I hope you guys can come through again for me.

  • Thank you all for your comments, I checked today and its an Atwood Furnace and I took some pics to but I have never been able to get them to work on this page, in fact I have tried to add them here and nothing it just will not click an post, but that is another issue. Atwood 7916-11
  • Mine is mounted out front next to the blower motor so the wind from the vanes activates the switch. I recently replaced the time delay relay, a four wire relay mounted on the end of the blower motor, to fix my unit. It was not letting the power get to the electronic board that signals the burner to ignite. This is an older Suburban SF 35 unit so the technology might be more advanced than mine.
  • Some of the heaters have a light that flashes a code, telling you whats wrong with it. Look for that also.
  • How about posting your furnace model, so we can help you? A PICTURE, if you can't find the model number.
