2001 Lance 835 Signal Lights

Hi all! First post here, but I've been reading off of the forum for a while.

I bought an 01 Lance 835 a few weeks ago and it has a standard Pollock 7 pin connector for lights/charging. I've been able to get 12v/ground, as well as running lights working, but the left and right turn signal wires as well as the brake light wires coming off of the 7 pin connector (under the sink) are just sitting there unconnected. My guess is the original owner replaced the 6 pin Lance connector and didn't bother to hook anything up other than the running lights.

I'd like to remedy this, but so far my efforts have been fruitless. I've located a copy of the 2001 owners guide (owners manual) and on page 31 I see a wiring diagram that shows that I should be able to just connect the wires coming off of my 7 pin connector directly to the standard wire colors (e.g. red for left turn, brown for right turn).

The trouble is, I don't see any of those color wires underneath my sink! (The couple of loose wires are all wires I've disconnected while diagnosing my issue, don't worry!)



Does anyone have any magical knowledge that could help me out here? Thanks!

  • That would be a little strange since the 14 gauge green wire diagrammed in the owner's manual to be the running lights, is there and works properly when hooked up to the green wire from my 7 pin connector. But I suppose anything is possible!

    I don't see any place on the plywood where screw holes have been abandoned.

    Thanks for the ideas so far!

    More likely that someone removed it. Can you see any place on the plywood wall where it may have been mounted up above the ground bar? Maybe try pulling a tail light to see what colors leave and in what direction. If all else fails you may have to string new wires somehow.

    Do you have the fuse block shown in the diagram? Maybe it's mounted somewhere else? Anything behind that winterize valve in your picture?

    The pictures in this thread show the fuse box just above the grounding bar on his Lance.
  • I'll be able to help once I get on a computer system that will let me look at your picture and have access to Lance wiring diagrams. Will be late this afternoon.
