Bad tail light wiring
Hi All - I have a problem with the left tail light on my new to me 2002 Jayco Qwest. The tail light itself works, but the turn signal, brake, and flasher do not. Everything works correctly on the right side. I assumed the problem was a bad bulb, but it turns out I’m only getting about 2 volts to the wire that powers the turn break and flashers. I’ve reached in and pulled out that wire as far as I can and from what I can see there are no bad connectors there. Anyone have any thoughts as to how I can get a new wire routed to that light. I don’t see any access inside or from the bottom. Just FYI , the wire scheme is as follows: Right light (works) Tail light - Green Turn, brake, Flash - Brown Left light (only tail light works) Tail light - Green Turn, brake, Flash - Red (only 2 volts). Thanks, Any help appreciated.Solved73Views0likes5CommentsJayco 260BHW No Power w/ Battery, Shore or Vehicle connection.
Just bought a new Jayco 260BHW last year and everything worked fine. Brought it out of storage today and have no power to the unit. Tried connecting to shore power with no luck. Jack works fine. Battery was stored in the house and it measures good. I don't think there's a main power switch to kill everything, in that I disconnect the negative terminal on the battery after every camping trip last year. Checked breakers, fuses in panel under the fridge, but can't figure what's going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.39Views0likes3CommentsPower converter

Our new-to-us 2001 Coachmen Leprechaun has an electrical issue that has me stumped. The house battery and converter that it came with where not producing adequate voltage and an RV tech that was working on something else told me to replace both and my problems should go away. I put in a Powermax PM3-55 and a couple good lead-acid batteries. Should have been good, right? While plugged in to shore power (sitting in our driveway) the coach voltage started to drop off and the new batteries were getting discharged. Testing with the batteries disconnected, I get about 12.6 vdc coming out of the converter, while lights, fan and fridge are running. When hooked to the coach load, house voltage drops down to about 11.6 vdc. I traced it back to the fuse panel under the bed hoping to isolate/identify (maybe) a ghost load or high resistance short to ground. Nope. A good 12.6 vdc feed is going to the fuse panel, but when I connect it to the fuse panel, it drops to1 11.6 vdc. Pulling out one fuse at a time, I expected to see which circuit is pulling it down. Again, nope. It stayed low throughout that exercise. So....I'm stumped. Is my brand-new converter bad? And can anyone tell me how a battery is supposed to charge while it is wired in parallel to the system load? Should I change the setting on the converter to a constant voltage instead of the fancy 3-stage charging? Any help would be much appreciated.87Views0likes7CommentsTrail-lite 211 b+ transfer switch location
I have a 2003 trail lite r-vision 211 motorhome that I just purchased. The generator wouldn’t start so I had a new carb put on and now it runs. When the mechanic tested the generator he turned on the air conditioner and once the compressor kicked on ac power was lost. He did not have time to dig deeper into the lost power so I thought it may just be a breaker issue. I brought the rv home to troubleshoot it myself and found that now my shore power also doesn’t provide any power to the unit. DC still works but no AC from either the shore power or generator. I had shore power prior to this issue. The air conditioner has worked on shore power before so that unit isn’t the problem. My thought is it is likely the transfer switch but I can’t find it. I followed the wires under the RV from both the shore power and the generator but get lost in the wiring as it goes behind the frame. Does anybody know where the transfer switch is located?Solved83Views0likes7CommentsChassis batteries not charging
I have a 2006 Tiffin Allegro Bay 38TDB Freightliner 26000. I currently have a TrippLite inverter/charger and have been plugged in to shore power constantly for over a year. I had to replace the 3 year old house batteries a couple of months ago due to the 12v system going down several times. Before the haters start hating please know that I never contemplated owning much less living in an RV. I got cancer and lost my home in 23 and was forced into this life. I am mechanically inclined and most of the repairs I have had to do myself as I now live on disability. Mechanic's daughter. I start the coach every once in awhile as I feel that it's necessary to let the fluids flow periodically in any engine. Yesterday, I went to start it since I'm moving to a different location and when I turn the key....nothing. That is the first time it hasn't started.Attempted to disconnect the series (2 6v deep cycles wires in a series) to charge them individually, and the charger won't charge. My voltmeter read 4.7 in each 6v. Help!?!? I don't know what to do now. Please be kind and helpful. I don't need negative comments. Thank you in advance for any help offered.105Views0likes14CommentsNeed help identifying a connector? Happy to help!
