Hi Everyone, still stuck at home in Canada,
Porch light does not shut off unless I pull the fuse which other lights are attached to:
Where is the reservoir on my Foretravel U295 1997 for brake fluid.
One more, water temperature alarm goes on when I accelerate or at different times. Temperature is normal
on the guage.
All of this pertains to my Foretravel U295 1997 8.3 manual engine.
Thanks,

You have AIR brakes, no hydraulic fluid.
Are you sure the "alarm" is from coolant temperature?
Maybe you are low on coolant and it is the low coolant alarm.
Are you allowing time for the porch light touch circuit to use its time? Takes a couple of minutes. It has fooled us a outlet of times.
Low coolant sensor shuts engine down in 30 seconds. Will restart and repeat shutdown
Thanks Scott I didn't know that.
I also carry a spare. Be a long trip home restarting every thirty seconds.
Couldn't you just jumper across the terminals in an Emergancy?

We tried but were unable. There are four wire going to the sensor. I didn't have a print so it may be possible
When my porch light wouldn't go off I took the bottom metal part off and dried it out. Water had gotten in and it was real wet. So far it has worked ever since. Like was said before every time you touch the bottom metal part the light comes on for a few minutes.
I hope this helps. Just my two cents

Are you talking about the light above the door or the lighted handle? Mine are on two different circuits. Something happened to the solenoid switch that controls the lighted handle so now mine's on constantly but I put an LED bulb in from m4 so the draw is nothing. I don't want to replace the switch controller below the passenger cup holder so I don't worry about it it's just on all the time now. Maybe one day I'll replace the controller if I can still find it.
But those LED bulbs should be good for 10 to 20,000 hours and I have a spare.
I replaced my porch light above the door with the light from m4. I had to rewire it and getting the wires through was quite difficult as the light is lower on the outside then the hole on the inside I try to fish tape I tried taping the wires together it was difficult but I finally got it through. I don't know what the light looked like prior cuz it never worked but I've seen other people's lights on and they're pretty dim. My porch light is quite bright. I wish it had the ability to dim it or a toggle switch to make it go on low or high, but even without those the light is awesome like all of m4 lighting products. It's heavy there's a big heat sink in there for the LEDs which is super important with LEDs cuz heat will kill them.
Notice the first picture is with the awning down deflecting the light down ward. The second picture is with no awning and you can see how it lights up the area. That's just the above door light not the side docking lights. M4 has a smaller light with less LEDs for those that would want something a little less bright. I figure when I want the door light on I want light. If I have the big awning out it's more concentrated down.
