Re: 1987 RV Engine Won't Turn Off
UPDATE: We pulled the Ignition fuse and after that fuse was out the engine was able to start and stop just fine. Not sure if it helps narrow down the problem, but without the fuse everything seems to be working fine, so I think I'm good to go on this issue now. Still looking through options on why that would be the issue but I guess if it works without it, then I just don't need it.457Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1987 RV Engine Won't Turn Off
It does not have daylights, and the lights that ive noticed usually stay on all the time is the backlight for the power steps switch and one of the dashboard backlights near the foot pedals. However these lights never stayed on before this issue so I think whatever is keeping the engine running is also powering those lights. It runs on gas and not diesel so I think we can rule out the "dieseling" thing. I wasn't able to work on it tonight but tomorrow morning I'll try all these suggestions and let you guys know. Thanks for all the help so far.457Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1987 RV Engine Won't Turn Off
Yeah the coil wire (pink and green if I remember correctly) right where it plugs into the spark plug area is the wire I have to unplug every-time to get it to finally turn off. So if that means it is a fuse issue what is the best way to test this? Turn the engine on, then put the key back in the off position, and then just start pulling fuses until it finally turns off? Any particular fuses to try first? Should I start with the fuses under the hood or the ones under the dashboard first?239Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1987 RV Engine Won't Turn Off
I believe it is a Chevy Chassis with a 7.4 Engine, I can only assume the year is the same as the rest of the RV however that I won't know till I am able to get over to my RV and look. Since we did replace some bad fuses at the same time as the other stuff when I get to my RV I will try YC 1's suggestion and see if it works first, because I did notice even when the engine was off and all the doors were closed that some of the lights near the dash stayed on like the power step dash light and another light that I had to unscrew the light bulb from so it didn't drain my battery. Won't be able to try it until tonight so keep the suggestions coming so I can try multiple tonight if his doesn't solve it.209Views0likes0Comments1987 RV Engine Won't Turn Off
I bought a 1987 Fleetwood Pace Arrow that I have had for almost a year now. A few weeks ago it started dieing on me until it wouldn't start at all. We found that both the main battery and the alternator were bad and had to replace them along with a few fuses that blew and apparently were never replaced. Now it starts up great and runs great, but now the issue is we can't get the engine to turn off after turning the ignition switch back off. The only way to get it to turn off is to pull the plug that has two wires running to the spark plugs' area. We then replaced the ignition switch but the issue continues and the engine still runs until we pull the plug again. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!3.3KViews0likes22Comments
