It affected all turn signal functions including the tow vehicle. The size is a standard flasher / hazard approximately 1" round that is interchangeable with the hazard flasher that is seen in the picture. It's a Must fuse X lead 20 amp max flasher. I replaced the original hazard flasher that was green with the more expensive Novita metal one because I was told it may control both the flashers and the turn signals., Obviously it didn't control both but I had it as a spare and used it to replace the turn signal flasher when I found it. I will get a couple spares for the future. The only good thing about the whole turn signal issue was that I learned about every square inch and nook and cranny of the coach searching for the flasher. I pulled relays and now know which one is needed to run the engine in the back passenger side next to the inverter and got a spare for that also.

Well after several months of looking around and checking the wiring with my probe, I was ready to take the coach into Freightliner because I'm leaving on a trip out west in a couple weeks and I don't like traveling with out turn signals. I have received a lot of help on forums, you-tube and here. I found a Freightliner help phone number that the previous owner of my coach wrote on the back of one of the manuals and thought I would give it a shot even though my local Freightliner couldn't or wouldn't help. I called and talked to a gentleman on a Sunday afternoon and had a 2 minute conversation that went as follows. What year coach? Do the emergency flashers work which they did. Is the round hazard flasher under the dash or outside on the firewall above the generator. It is outside on the firewall. He said to find the fuse panel that the flasher is in and follow the wires that feed that fuse panel and within the first 8" there should be another flasher that looks identical to the other but spliced into the wires and might even be in the black flex wire protector but will be with 8". I have been on top of that area 50 times but never looked in the main group of covered wires and I found it and fixed it in 5 minutes! I've been researching and looking for months to resolve this easy problem so thank you very much to the Freightliner Help Line 1-800-385-4357. Yes it is dirty and I need to fasten it all back right, this was temporary while searching for the problem. It was in the large conduit of wires and hidden out of sight. I like to give the solution to issues I ask about on forums so future Holiday Rambler Endeavor owners (Monaco) who have the same turn signals not working issues have a reference to go to with a quick, easy and inexpensive way to fix the problem without the frustration I have had. Fixed and done! dirty

Thanks Bill

Thanks for the responses, sounds great!

We are heading West also. Is Route 66 worth the additional drive time. Driving a 38' HR Endeavor DP with a toad. 15 days to make the drive. Already went through Yellowstone a few years ago so we want to stay around the Grand Canyon and Brice Canyon area as mentioned above. Does anyone have an itinerary they used with good RV parks along the way and at the GC. I can boondock for 3-4 days if necessary but overnight is preferred between stays at the RV parks. Any must see's and stays. I too have some back issues, 3-5 mile hikes at the most.

Do you have a email address or contact information.

Hey all, it's me again. Another tranny question. I'm painting some of the plastic molding pieces around the front windshield and other area's around the dash that have yellowed. When I took off the panel that houses the computer and shift control (6 speed push button with mode button) I noticed a cut ORANGE wire. I'm not sure if this is intentional or was cut during installation or during a repair. The computer wasn't mounted, just sitting inside the panel. Can anyone tell me if I should hook it back up. If it was done intentionally I don't want to fry something. Everything is working properly that I know of except turn signals and reverse lights. Shifts fine and lights up at night. Any idea's. I'm thinking about leaving as is!

I have never paid for a repair on any of my cars or my house. I do everything myself. I have a 1990 Mustang 2-door LX Sport coupe convertible with a 349 Stroker motor with 150 shot of nitrous that pushes 500HP at the crank. I rebuilt the motor and swapped the auto trans to a Tremek 5 speed with a centerforce HD clutch that runs the quarter mile in the 10's. I have a 85 red Corvette that I built the motor also, it has about 475HP to the rear wheels with a 700r tranny with a 2800 RPM stall converter that runs in the 11's so I can turn a wrench, I even installed a few mods on my Hemi 300C. I guess you figured out I like HP. Diesels are just new to me but I'll get the hang of it. I was hit on my motorcycle 15 years ago and broke my back and neck so my body will feel the lift pump replacement for a week or two. I'm limited on what I can do at 55 with a 95 year old body! The cold weather makes it worse! Thanks again. The Air Dog adds I saw with the air separator was genius. Since I had 6 filters I decided to wait until next time. I just want this coach to run good, I have plenty of fast toys!

I don't like when people ask for help and then they don't post the results of what they did to repair. I did a lot of research on the different lift pumps that were recommended such as Air Dog and Fass. Today was a nasty, cold, freezing rain day here in Cincy and I was tired of watching youtube video's of how to's so I went to the coach, turned on the furnace and a basketball game to see what was needed for the lift pump replacement. I was warm, nice and dry and the next thing I knew I had the old pump out and had a decision to make. Since I already bought a half dozen fuel filters that I didn't want to waste and was in the repair groove, I decided to put a stock lift pump back in to see if the VP44 was good or bad. Autozone had the lift pump with a lifetime warranty for 138.00 so what the heck. I'll upgrade the lift when I do the VP44. I installed the new lift pump, cleaned up the motor and it's now running better than ever. No bucking, no lag, climbs steep hills, good throttle response and fine at WOT. VP44 seems to be fine. I know these pumps aren't the best pumps but the peace of mind and the 4 hours of labor to replace it was well worth it. I can upgrade it next time in less than 2 hours since I'm familiar with it now so thanks again for all the help. Now back to figuring out the turn signal issue! Regards, Strats

Thanks for all the help. I will keep you informed as I move forward weather permitting. I'm glad it started going out just a few miles from home after a 2,500 mile trip with no tow needed. Looking forward to traveling this summer. If it was running I would be heading to a warmer climate this weekend! Thanks again. Sorry this thread covered more than tranny codes.

Mine looks more like this lift pump. More of a upside down bell look. I'm embarrassed how dirty this motor is!

I though the K&N would be a good idea, I learn more about diesels every day. I located the lift pump and will post a pic when I figure out how to post it, pretty greasy right there. Is it possible that the lift pump is bad and the VP44 is OK. The lift pump looks easy enough to replace, the VP44 doesn't look too difficult with the exception of the location under the bed and getting to it. I'm not sure about getting it from underneath. I will wait until the snow melts and the temps get above freezing. If I just replace the lift pump, can it be damaged by not doing the VP44 at the same time or if one is bad, both are bad?

I got it started today. Took a few tries but started and felt like it was ok. I drove it around the parking lot a couple times and then it died again. idled it back to my spot. I was hoping it had an air lock, I don't think so now! Again, thanks for your help. What is the part number for the Air Dog and VP44. I would like to up grade. It has a Banks intake and a few banks gauges but the previous owner said it was disconnected because of Cummins warranty on a head gasket but I would like to increase the fuel. I did put a K&N air filter and would be curious what it would take to hook the Banks up again, possibly a larger turbo also. I'm not sure what performance mods can be done!

It's barely running now. It won't idle long and definitely won't drive. I drained a little fuel out of the filter which made things worse.
