2 of 3 electric visors quit
On our '05 Discovery we have 3 CAREFREE of COLORADO electric sunvisors for the windshield. Other day I had all 3 down in a campground and all were working great. Went to raise them back up and only the passenger side would respond. Drivers and middle one would not go up or down. Checked the fuse (and even replaced it) but knew that if one still worked then the fuse was ok. Tested with a trouble light the incoming wires and they were hot. Thought it might be the switches so swapped the good one with the others (one at a time) and no help. Wiring has to be ok with all the checks I've done. Right? Since the shades were only about half way down I pulled on them thinking the gears may be bad or caught or bound up. They both pulled down with no problems and you could actually hear the gears inside turning. Next step is to take them down completely and hook them up on the workbench to see what happens. Before doing that I wanted to see if anyone had any other ideas. Jim577Views0likes1CommentRe: 2003 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 36r
Had an '03 for awhile. Great unit. One issue I found with mine was one of the rear spring hangers was cracked part way thru. Didn't even notice it until after putting a few thousand miles on it but it never caused an issue and then we fixed it. Just something you may want to check.250Views0likes0CommentsRe: Muffin fans- fridge issues- blew a fuse
Dennis, I tried to post a pic but can't get it to show up. What I did was remove the screen on top of the vent and mount the 4 fans to a piece of plywood with a cutout for the fans. Originaly I was going to mount them farther down in the vent but this looked simpler and just as efficient. After screwing the assembly down I ran a bead of caulk down the sides of the plywood to completely seal the top. Drilled a few holes in the plywood to allow venting from the lp when it runs. I wired it to a switch I installed by the fridge so it can be controlled manually. When I flip it on and hold a paper towel next to the outside vent it holds it tight against the intake. I'm a happy camper:C164Views0likes0CommentsMuffin fans- fridge issues- blew a fuse
Finally getting around to installing the fans I had ordered from ALLELECTRONICS. Things going good just up and down the ladder more times then not;) Ran the wires down from the top and tested to make sure all worked properly. Did this a few times and went and had lunch. Came back and decided to clean up the wiring a bit but..... forgot to turn the juice off. Blew a fuse to the fridge which apparently also controls some overhead lighting on the fridge side. For the life of me I cannot find the fuse I blew. Knowing no one else ever does anything like this:S thought maybe someone could point me in the right direction. 2002 Discovery 38P Thanks Jim1.8KViews0likes5Comments
