Thanks, All, for the suggestions and stories. My wife and I found success after some reassessing. We separated the louvered vent from its bezel so that she could get her fingers "inside" and support the hose and its threaded fitting. After numerous attempts and lots of patience, the threads on both pieces finally engaged and we got enough turns to cinch things up. We pushed the louvered vent piece back in, the 3 plastic tabs snapped into place and nothing had broken!

Thanks, David! Rather than your push-to-engage hardware, I found snap covers over phillips head screws. I'll give it a shot.

2009 HR Scepter has two air vents in front of the passenger seat near a grab rail. (Photos attached) The louvered vent on the left has become disconnected from its hose. The hose is not long enough to pull through the hole and it's just a bit too big around to fit through the hole. What's the best way to access that hose and reattach it to its vent? The access panel over the driver's instrument panel is too far away to be of any help. Ideas please. Thanks!

I got the "got wet" answer as well blamed on leaky driver's side window. My only issue is the LED above the MANUAL button does not light. No big deal.

Yes. Select Manual.

Are you pretty level to begin with? If you're "out of limits", you might be locked out of AUTO so as not to twist the frame.

Update on my detective work on this issue (blink code 12-11 which is "Left and Right WSS reversed on an axle"): After a couple of calls to the Bendix Tech Team, I lucked out and got a nice fellow named Chad and I recognized him from some YouTube videos that Bendix put out several years ago. He spent quite a bit of time going over options of what the issue could be. 1) Some of the early EC-60 control units had some software glitches and were replaced under warranty. (I have 127 occurrences of this fault in 12 years, but not covered) 2) In the tight turns that tend to give the fault, an inside wheel might become "unweighted" and fake out the ATC system which could cause an ABS issue. (least likely) 3) The issue might actually be that left and right sensors are reversed on an axle. Chad explained that no diagnostic tool (RDU or ACom) is going to give me any more info than the blink code feature has already given me. The best way to know if sensors are reversed is to go underneath and locate the connector from the wheel speed sensor wire where it plugs into the wiring harness somewhere along each axle. Then unplug one at a time and do the blink code test. That fault will say which sensor is open/unplugged. If you unplug the "left" and the fault comes up as "right", I'll know the WSS are actually reversed on that axle. Next time I'm not parked on gravel, mud or snow, I'll give it a try and keep you posted. Still open to any and all input from the group!

We're often suspicious of loose grounds throughout our coaches. I've seen photos of "bus bars" with ground wires coming in from multiple electronic/electrical sources, but have never been able to spot anything like that on my coach ('09 HR Scepter). I've looked inside the dash, in the generator compartment, engine bay and the FRB. Any hints on where I should be looking? I've got a couple of issues of "stray electrons" that I'm trying to hunt down and though I would start with checking/tightening grounds wires. TIA

Thanks, Ivan! There were a couple of other inactive codes in the event history that may be related, but I just got off the phone with a Bendix Tech Team guy who said "you just gotta go through each input wheel by wheel to identify which is which." They do have some PC based software they sell for a mere $400 that might give more info. Unfortunately, you cannot clear the event history without the software or a remote diagnostics unit. This means I have 12 years of inactive faults still in the memory. I would love to be able to clear the memory and then take some sharp turns to get the main fault to address. I should also do the blink test to ascertain the configuration on my coach. (eg how many sensors and how many modulators) as well as get the serial number of the unit to know which version of the EC-60 I have. Araghhhhh.

Greetings from snowy Washington State! Ever since we acquired our '09 HR Scepter almost 5 years ago, we've had the ATC and ABS lights come on....usually in tighter turns like a freeway cloverleaf, right turns more than left, very occasionally randomly on a straightaway. They always stay on until shutdown and then reset. It's a Bendix ABS system and the SPN is 810 with an FMI of 7 which doesn't correspond to any of the faults listed in the manual . I've done the "count the flashes" exercise and got a "12-11" which is "Wheel Speed Sensors Reversed on Axle". That makes sense but which axle? My main question at this point is: Does anyone know where their ABS junction box is on their coach, how the wires are marked? I know I can follow wires, but right now the coach is on gravel with snow. They have no idea where the EC-60 control box might be mounted and they said that input jacks are not marked! Any thoughts ? I know just enough to be dangerous!
