I have a 2000 Ford 53 series chassis that is blowing the brake light fuse. This is the third or fourth time I am having this problem. The first time, I thought the 4 wire tow connector had a problem and after working on it the problem, it went away for a few weeks. Since then the problem has returned several times, each time the problem goes away after moving the towing cable harness around as well as the cable at the brake pedal switch. I can travel for a few days without problem, but after the coach sits without moving for a few days it returns. Now I am getting ready to travel tomorrow so decided to check the lights and have the problem again. I have removed the tow connector, cut the wires and insulated them, disconnected the two coach connectors for the chassis lights at the rear of the coach, and the fuse blows immediately when the brake pedal is touched. I cannot think of anything else to disconnect. I am beginning to wonder if it is possible for the switch on the brake pedal to short internally to cause the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the response. Being new to this I have many rather trivial questions.

I am new to RVing and would like to know if anyone could give me an estimate of gas usage for a Generac 5.5KW generator.

A friend and my wife and I were just talking on this issue because many times it seems the caution light is just too short for 45 mph. We would like to see a change to the system they use in Mexico where the green light flashes three times before the caution light comes on. This is by far a better system.

I have a 2000 Rexhall coach on a Ford F53 chassis and have a problem of blowing the brake light fuse as soon as the brake is applied. I have been unable to locate a chassis wiring diagram and am hoping someone can offer advise.

I am new to RVing so this may be a stupid question. The salesman told me very few people actually carry spare tires in their RV. I am now questioning this so would like to get some comments.
