  1. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a buzzer.
  2. OK, opened the steering house. There was one connector of wires that led up the steering column to the steering wheel. It was difficult to pull out and inspect. Then this odd one. I’ve never seen anything like it. The end of whatever the above is. And the label on the back side. Then these three connectors with nothing to connect them to. I’ll go in and check the wiring diagram but am not very good at reading them. Does anyone have any guidance? ’05 HR Ambassador
  3. Two considerations are strength of attachment and would it interfere with operation of the slide.
  4. Thanks. I’ll look inside the steering housing.
  5. A little known secret. Many people believe they get a loyalty rate when stick with an insurer. The insurers know that indicates the customer isn’t shopping and increases their premiums regularly. If you don’t shop it bites you.
  6. I’ve thought about this. Replaced my jackknife couch on the drivers side, flush floor slide out with a chair that faces forward. Would like to move one of the seatbelt bolts from the wall side of the slide to the interior side. I wondered if the bolts went through more than plywood where they are now and you answered my question, metal and plywood. Now if I move one to where the floor is just wood would it be effective for a seatbelt. Plus, slim as the seatbelt bolt head is would it interfere with slide operation in the new position. I need a solution since my wife rides in that chair.
  7. Wow! That's great. I'm much more comfortable with the actual diagram for my coach. Thanks
  8. Great information Tom, especially the part about the light switch sending 12v to the dimmer switch. I’ll put it to work. Thanks, Ed
  9. I had running lights but no headlights, dim or bright. The tech got them working by inserting a relay in what he said was an empty slot in the front run bay. Don’t know why there was an empty slot. I never removed anything from it. Now no brights but the dims work all of the time regardless of switch position. To operate now I exit the coach and insert or remove that relay. We never drive at night but if something happened and I needed to I can now.
  10. My present problem is the headlight are inop. One service center advised taking it to Freightliner. Does that make sense?
  11. I have a 2005 HR Ambassador. I understand it is the twin of the Monaco Knight. When searching for wiring diagrams in the files section there are 2002 Knight-Ambassador and 2006 Knight. Any guidance on which I should use?
  12. With solar I find I don’t need alternator charging since I only drive in the daytime and the panels keep the batteries charged even while running the residential refrigerator. So didn’t bother with DCDC charger.
  13. Magnum shunt needs to be the one that works with lithium. The original ones did not. Lithium ones model number ends in “-L”.
  14. What amp hours and voltage are the Sam’s? I assume 6v. Does the Xantrex have the ability to input custom charging? Using a non-lithium profile can work but might only change to 80% of the lithium’s capability. Plus as I understand it you MUST disable equalization charging. It will destroy lithiums. Worth a call to Xantrex for their input.
  15. I wish I had a cup holder in the left side console. The one in the drawer in the center console is a stretch while driving.
  16. This is mine. At least six wire all of which are white and only three labeled. Behind my abilities. Took it to the shop.
  17. Got the switch out. There are far more wires than I expected. They are all white and only a couple labeled and they were for panel dimming. Oh well, it’s off to the shop we go.
  18. Thanks. Very useful. Mine is slightly different as to the nut that holds it to the dash. Shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll go back out and try to locate the button again.
  19. Can you be more specific about the location of the button? Is it on the part of the switch behind the dash? I have a very limited view of it there due to the left vent hose obstructing the view. I could remove the hose but am afraid this will just introduce new problems. Doing it mostly by feel now.
  20. Interesting. I was rotating the switch to see if there is a set screw or some such to remove the knob. I need to do that to remove the switch since my headlights don’t work, bright or dim. I only have parking lights. So that brings up the subject of how to remove the switch. I can access the back of the switch by removing the cover of the dash but need to remove the knob to remove the switch. How is this accomplished. Am I approaching this correctly or should I troubleshoot elsewhere first? Is there a good source for the switch? I have heard it’s an old standard that should be available at any auto parts store. BTW, thanks Tom for going easy on me.
  21. Went to the coach tonight. The two lights under the TV console were on. Nobody remembers turning then on. I tried to tap them off but no luck. Operating on battery power. Since they are both behaving the same way it must be a system problem. Where should I look short of disconnecting the house batteries? Ed 2005 HR Ambassador
  22. Does the inverter have a costume charging option? And I think you need to be able to disable the equalize function. Lithiums can’t tolerate it.
  23. I go through this every year. For years I never winterized at my home in Oklahoma. My coach is stored in a somewhat insulated hangar in the back yard. My neighbor, who had lived next door for many years before we moved there told me he never winterized. We try to avoid it since we usually leave for an extended trip in late January. That was good until about three years ago when near or below zero temps were forecast for several days. I broke down and winterized with air. Was glad I did as the hangar got down to 17°F one night.
  24. I have the same concern at home. When we leave for an extended trip I turn the water heater off at the street for fear of leaks and flooding in the house. A little concerned though since it is in the attached garage and there is a very remote chance it freeze.
