Title: Silverleaf
Post by: oldguy on September 08, 2025, 01:14:25 pm
After I finished the bulkhead rebuild I found the Silverleaf wasn't working and it turned out it was full
of water. I cleaned it and dried it out and it's working fine. Now I'm trying to find out where the water
came from. It's raining hard in Campbell River today and no water yet and it doesn't look like there has
been water around the controller.

You mean the Silverleaf controller, the one inside the coach dashboard, was full of water?

Yes Steve and I have no idea where the water came from. Mine was is installed below the dash
on the left side about 8 inches from the floor.

Can you post a photo?

A Silverleaf engine monitoring system wasn't OEM back in 1998, so it's unclear which aftermarket version you have.

As far as collecting water, it could be from something like the windshield, the trim at the front cap where it meets the side of the coach, the drip rail near the roof, or the clearance lights.  Or even the driver mirror mount or an awning mount.
