I started the coach, but can't get into travel mode. The air pressure is over 100lbs. But the travel light won't come on.
go to the electronic box in in the basement , you will see a little dial on the side of it.. says 110 and 220.. take a flathead and turn to sit on the 220.. it will bypass the safety in the system
I'm not sure the travel light tells you are in travel mode. I thing it only knows the the key is on and there is air pressure. So if the tires look normal in the wheel well, you are good to travel and figure out the light problem later. Maybe you need to disconnect and plug back in the HWH dash panel wire.
This function is on later coach's. Not his 1997...Per Aubrey...You need to bring the coach to ride height manually, then unplug the HWH box completely. Temporary bypass
I can't find the connector to turn the system off.
The good news is I can drive the coach, the bad is the dinging alarm!!!
Pretty sure when the green travel lite is on it tells you that 12V power has been sent to all travel solenoids to hold them open so the ride height control valve can set travel height.
Think I would start with checking that telephone connection on the back of the control panel.
The alarm is there for a good reason.
Until you confirm it is a false alarm I would pay attention to it.
Make sure the tires are not rubbing on the wheel well's...Just sayin'
Pressure switch maybe. Open the dash,cut the wire to the chime, or wrap in cotton. I have a switch on mine, and wrapped in cotton.

I just muffled the little bugger!!!
Thanks
Made it to Amarillo, no problem.
I appreciate the advice, thanks!
When I started the coach this morning it went into travel mode and the warning bell turned off!!!
I removed my custom bell muffler and all is back to normal!
Could temp. have been part of the issue?
The problem started after we stopped for lunch. It was windy, cool and dry.
Glad it fixed itself, and now I know how to deal with it if happiness again.
It might be worth changing the pressure switch on the rear HWH manifold.
If that switch fails it would tell the HWH computer you have low (less than 65 psi?)
air pressure. That would prevent going into travel mode and give you the low air pressure alarm.
Could be just a bad connection but if that's the original switch it's probably due anyway.
Sounds like a good course of action, John. That goes near the top of my new and growing list!
Coaches don't fix them selves, you most likely have an intermittent problem, the best course of action on the six pack's, is to find a safe place to work on the coach, raise the coach as high as it will go, block the chassis, take each connection on the six pack apart,
clean with electronic parts cleaner, coat the male and female parts with dielectric grease and reassemble them, that should rule out a bad connection.
I'm on my maiden voyage home. Just bought the coach in Las Vegas on Thursday, passing through Nashville now on my way home to South Jersey. Hope it continues to work for the rest of the trip. I'm not equipped to tackle the job on the road, at home I can handle it.
Thanks for the good advice.
