Class C E450 Fuse problem

[ken0304]

I have a 2005 coachman class C with 18k miles on a ford E450 chassis.
The 15amp. fuse that controls the dash gages blows after about 20 to 30 minutes of driving. I put a 20amp fuse in and everything works fine. This may have to with the fuel gage because it started when I filled up. Has anyone else had this problem or know why.

Anyone know where the "door chimes dome light relay" is located?? Can't find any mention of it in the Owners Manual and I need to replace it.

The fuse that blew is f22. This controls the instrument cluster
door chimes dome light relay.

The dash gauges and the tow mode in the lever are all connected.
Have any problems with either of these,It is a known Ford problem with the "wiring inside the steering wheel".

For me it was the tow mode light coming on and dropping the trans while driving. Ford said I had a 50/50 chance it was the known loose wires in the steering wheel causing the tow mode to drop or the torque converter itself.

In my case I lost the bet it was the torque converter but that's how I learned about the problem with the wires in the steering wheel being connected to all things about the dash gauges.

AND, after they installed the new torque converter keeping in mind that the tow mode is part of the dash assembly......I had lights and gauges on the dash that had never been there before and in different colors! :B

Go figure. If you still have problems with your dash gauges ford will go right to taking the steering wheel off and check the wires. I think it was a call back and they do it for free.
