Drop-down tv mechanism will not drop down
Bruce B replied to Bruce B's topic in Audio, Video, & Electronics
Everyone with the help of a friend we dismantled the surround and exposed the motor mechanism. Nothing was found to be an obvious issue so we tried the lift and it worked. I cleaned up the wiring and put it back together and so far so good. The one difference is that rather than screw the backing panel to the rear of the tv lift I’m going to use heavy duty Velcro a la Marathon coaches example. thanks for the advice and information. -

I have a 2004 Signature with the front drop down tv, after getting the coach out of storage the tv will not drop down. When I press the button to activate the lift I hear a grinding or spline-like sound slipping and no movement from the unit. How do you get access to the motor compartment? I can expose the back of the tv but that does not help get at the motor. There are caps with screws either side of the ceiling surround, does anyone know what function they do? Is there a release that would allow the tv to be brought down in order to expose the motor components? Thanks for any assistance or advice. Bruce in Indio, CA

Front drop down Tv mechanism in 2004 Signature will not work
Bruce B replied to ronwtg's topic in Audio, Video, & Electronics
Since my previous response upon getting my coach out of storage for the winter season my drop down mechanism will not come down. When I press the switch I get a grinding gear or spline-like noise. Has anyone experienced this? I could expose the back of the tv and perhaps see into the motor area but anyone with a previous similar situation and advice would be helpful. Thanks. -
Generator Slide switches not operating
Bruce B replied to Dennis N - 2005 Windsor's topic in Electrical Systems
I had the switch in the FRB go bad and replaced it. -
One of the basement door switches got knocked and the plastic pin broke. These are the switches that tell you whether a door is open. Has anyone come across a plug and play replacement? Thanks for any information. Bruce 2004 Signature Chateau 4

I had the same problem and it turned out to be a bad circuit on the board that powered the HWH so a temporary work around on the board was done and I now carry a replacement board. The board was in the drivers side front run box. I hope this helps.

Jake brake foot switch wiring
Bruce B replied to MHRookie's topic in Engine, Transmission, Engine Cooling, & Hydraulics
My foot pedal also has a slight delay, I think it is programmed that way. -
I had the circuit board go bad for my leveling and had to wire a work around. This is the one located in the front drivers side electrical box. Check that the fuse is getting power.

I had something similar when I had an issue with the transfer switch, loose wire connections.

Hello Everyone, I just replaced the eight house batteries in my coach and I am looking for advice on keeping the batteries charged when it is in storage. I park my coach in a garage for 7 months when not in use, I could plug into 30 amps but I worry that the water would go low while plugged in. I use a trickle charger for the two starting batteries that works fine as they are sealed. Is there a charger that would keep the 6 volt batteries charged without boiling them over time? I use a charger on a car at home that sits a lot that will 'maintain' the battery and desulphate it if necessary, is there such a thing for eight 6 volts? I cannot always get to the coach to connect and disconnect it. Good advice appreciated. Thank you!

I changed-out my original stereo that was connected to the CD player, DVD player, TV and had GPS built-in. The thing is it was so complicated I could never understand it. I also replaced the drop-down TV with a smart tv. I gave-up on CD's, DVD,s as streaming is my future. I found this Alpine single DIN with a large screen. Now I plug-in my iPhone and use Apple play, bluetooth, Google maps and it is constantly updating and plug and play. So much easier! Here is the unit I installed, I highly recommend it. https://www.crutchfield.ca/p_500ILXF259/Alpine-Halo9-iLX-F259.html Cheers!

I have my coach in storage and know that I will have to replace the LPG when I take it out. FYI, I added Nest smoke, carbon monoxide detectors to the basement and interior of the coach which operates of my wifi hot spot and alerts me if there is an issue. I would get an alert well in advance of a potential issue being noticeable to a passerby.

I had something similar once and it was the Nason switch on the air brake.

I had something similar occur so I removed the filters in the ceiling and washed them. The foam was old and degrading so I have since made new ones.
