04, Check the fuses in the BCC and connections. There should be a information sheet for the BCC in your coach paper work. The step power is supplied from the chassis batteries. There is a magnetic switch/relay activated by the small magnet located on the screen door. 2 circuits control the step power. One is the switch mentioned, the second source is from the ignition switch circuit, so the steps retract when the engine is started. Third, there is a fuse and step circuit in the main chassis fuse panel under the dash panel. Note ! all the circuits mentioned are powered from circuits supplied by the chassis builder, they are often referred to as ACC circuits. Powered from the chassis start /run batteries. Note 2 Chassis battery on a 2004 Fleetwood Bounder, workhorse engine, was disconnected from inside RV when I put it in storage. When I last checked, I couldn't get the steps to open. I made sure step switch was on but the light on the switch was not on. There is a main fuse located at or near the chassis battery's that, but because the engine starts this main fuse should be GOOD. Rich.

Pat, How long sense the Air Dryer been serviced? Has the Air dryer ever been replaced? It maybe much less expensive to have the dryer replaced, rebuilt units are not expensive when one figures in the labor to resurrect the old one. Rich.

What year is your coach? Does it have a throttle body Quadrajet carb or throttle body injector system ? Have all the engine Vacuum lines been checked or replaced and how long ago where all the lines replaced? When was the last time the distributor and ignition circuit been rebuilt? This old thread might be some help. Rich.

ddoud, Turning off/on the red Battery Disconnect Switch quickly gets the house battery charging. The switch mentioned, could be the issue., Loose connection? when you toggle the switch -the high current load on the house batteries might cause an ark, this might make a temporary connection that is lost when driving, due to vibration. Driving an RV down the road can loosen up a number of items /including electrical connections. Ray mentioned the batteries as a possible issue. Huff mentioned everything should still be under warranty. Rich.

I have had the same issues or related problems with an older Freightliner chassis. There is a possibility of a poor connection at the speed sensor ( it has 2 sensors mounted in the assembly.) ATF can leak through the assembly pins mounted in the sensor. Remove the connection from the sensor located in the Transmission. Clean the connection and socket with CRC. Ware eye protection, getting the spray in your eyes is no good ! The second issue I have experienced is the speedometer reading to fast at a preset engine speed / Tachometer. Hear can become an issue. The third item that can cause the problem is noise generated in the voltage regulator diodes due to heat. Good luck and keep us in the loop. Rich.

What does your Silverleaf voltage read ,like doc asked? A alternator output voltage of over 14.5 will create an error, what is the alternator voltage reading? I have had that issue when the alternator regulator diodes failed. A high DC voltage reading while on Shore Power can be caused when the Charger / inverter setting is wrong. Rob, Have you replaced the house and or Chassis batteries before this issue appeared? A little more information from you would help. Who's charger inverter is installed in the coach? Is it OEM or has it been replaced or updated? Rich.

Thanks for the up date and the detective work! Rich.

urbanhermit, Kind of sounds like the PVC check valve is sticking open. Might check it out and the big vacuum line connected to it for age brake down issues.. Rich.

Reading some of the threads that have been inactive for weeks. Members might not realize it is up and running!! After trying a few times, I used my old password instead of starting a new account. Rich.

Maybe a PM to the Original poster, The forum has been off line for an extended time. Rich.

ttbikes, Are the any numbers stamped into the fitting? What does the left side in the picture connect to if anything? or could it be a pressure adjusting point? I took it to Freightliner and they found a leak in air line fitting of the air ride system at the driver side rear.(is this a picture of the part that is leaking?) Where is the leak in relation to the part pictured? As a note to the issue, most air ride systems have or use Preset pressure valves in the ride height air supply. The common preset pressure is 65 Lbs. Good information may require more information on the Air pressure level at the supply point of the part pictured. Rich.

After reading your post. The transmission needs to be in neutral to enable the neutral safety switch. You might read through this link SAME problem and the fix. Good luck Rich.

Joe, It is a new one to me also. If he has a heat issue with the Allison, wondering if it has something to do with the crossover pipe or hoses. The cooling system splits in the area. Think you have the info I sent you a while back . Aftermarket is kind of in you back yard, if it turns out to be NLA. That part of the system is 15 years old. Rich.

Does you coach have a ICC switch ? Not all work the same way, but it is worth checking out. Look at this link. Did it drink some coffee or tea by chance? Rich.

This link might help, but a number of them have been canceled because of Covid-19 https://www.rvingwomen.org/page/driving_school Rich.

Marvin, Have you Googled RV Technician School locations? There are a number of possible options including home study. Rich.

Look at the post with the Manual link ! Think the wire you found goes to the circuit pictured on the last page . The wire looks like it might be a faded yellow wire, related to the remote starting switch. wire number 3 in the drawing. Rich.

Carl, with today's 3D printing capabilities, one can make a number of items. If you or someone you know in into Auto Cad software or a related field. Rich.

The latch mounting loosened up on our's. I was able to repair it and some of the plastic catches at the same time. Not a simple repair and not all latch systems work the same way. 50 plus years in the electronics, design, repair and production helps. Rich.

Ross's information is a good base line mix, but it can be stronger. Kind of depends on how dirty the CAC and radiator are. One does need to use water generously when flushing the system. Water pressure at 175 lbs should clear all the dirt and grease from the spaces in the fins. Then repeat the job each year to keep the system in top operating condition. Rich. The attached picture is of a unit that is way to dirty and often beyond repair.

I have to go along with Joe, Steering gear, Ball joint(s) or drag link. Would take the coach to a medium duty truck shop. This would cause an X access wobble The shocks tend to correct the Y access motion. Rich.

Google Chevrolet C-10 aftermarket tail lights. Some one should still supply them. Rich.

Got lucky, The engine is directly under the bed in our case. Things depend on where they placed the large ward room or bath in some cases. Rich. As a side note! I get to the inside surface of the CAC from under the Coach. Using a small pilot drill, placed a pilot hole in the lower right-hand corner of the fan shroud( That is the passenger side) - then used a hole 3/4 in. hole saw(to drill a hole on the curved corner of the shroud) to allow me to use a engine cleaning wand to spray the aluminium friendly Simple Green at 80 to 100 psi in the hardest corner to clean and carefully wiggled into the engine compartment. Working not to damage a number of hoses, wires ,AC compressor lines, and chassis air lines. to wash the fan and the remaining CAC area available because of the fan blade pitch / angle. This was done with the coach aired up, park break on and engine off. A wet dirty job and safety googles required.

The key is to clean them every year. How long has it been sense the last cleaning job? Is your coach setup with the rear discharge system? Should that be the case and you drive off road as mentioned. The best way to clean things would be to have it steam cleaned. Then do the yearly Extreme Simple Green cleaning and through in the steam cleaning every other year. You might try to minimize the heat by dropping down a gear or to to increase the RPMs and lower the turbo boost. Cleaning the CAC and Radiator can require flexibility and a small waist. Rich.

The plastic block is mounted to allow the slide to easily move up and over the coach floor. With it not in place the possibility of damaging the slide hardware that moves the slide, with it missing the slide might not close; causing other issues. Can you tell how it was fastened in place? Rich.
