Title: Lights and Water Pump Power
Post by: Greg & Erin Burress on May 05, 2019, 11:24:34 am
This morning all the lights inside the coach along with the water pump, chair power, and aux power on the dash stopped working (and probably a few other things I haven't found yet).  Checked all fuses and breakers under the bed with no obvious problem.  Have outlet power and inverter seems to be working properly.  At the time I was hooked up to 50  amp power and the AC units were working.  About to start digging into the electrical diagrams, but hoped to get some help from the group.  Another factor, that may or may not be relevant to this issue is that the AC units don't seem to be working on generator power (first time this year, I've tried to use them).  The coach is a 1999 U295.  The only upside so far that that I have an appointment at MOT a week from Monday.

Do this, if your problem recurs often.

They have moved that switch on the later coaches. Not sure what year the change was, but mine is on the dash in front of passenger seat and you won't bump it off. You might turn it off and forget it though.

We bent a narrow flat piece of aluminum, screwed to step wall and pivoted around to prevent salesman switch from rotating. Swing out of way to turn off, swing back after turning switch back on.
