Title: Where is Hydraulic Reservoir (split from Re: New a/c quit)
Post by: Dutchman56 on July 23, 2021, 12:29:23 pm
We just bought a 2003 U320 WFS 4010. Where is the hydraulic Reservoir on this model?
We drove it all the way from AZ to CA with an annoying ding, ding, ding alarm.
Also, the breaker kept tripping and the AC would go off. These are 2 brand new AC's

On my 2004 it is to the left of the engine  - see picture (big black upright canister).

Dutchman that ding alarm could be the tv antenna up alarm.  Sometimes it can hang up.

When you say the hydraulic reservoir, do you mean for the power steering, fans, etc, or for the HWH slide system?

The engine driven stuff is in the back, to the left of the engine, above the air filter.  Two large hoses going in the bottom.  See pic.

The HWH reservoir is with the pump motor and air pump in a basement bay.  See picture.  Behind the air pump is the hydraulic motor, sitting next to the reservoir.

What breaking was tripping?  I assume you were running off the generator.  What does the voltage display show for each line?  I'm guessing you have one above the microwave.

Another problem could be a bad slide room lock sensor.  It won't stop you from driving if it happens when already in gear but could stop you from going into gear (unless the override switch is turn on).  It could have been turned on by a previous owner.

It could also be any number of engine faults but that should set a check engine light.

Many of us have installed a dinger shutoff button.  You can search the forum for many topics on this issue.
