It is probably with the breakers and fuses. Look for this behind a. I think this is a. Could it be on the rear end. I have the workshop manuals for. We resolved it and I'll share how with you for your future reference. Mallard switched the dashboard set up and used a mechanical speedometer with cable drive, not the factory issued VSS so the GM part number we ran down was not correct! BTW the original VSS is no longer made and aftermarket sellers want from $1. A truck mechanic I know said, . We traced the cable and sure enough, in- line, in a hard to see place half way between the dash and the transmission, we found the VSS. We also found the cruise control sensor. The weird thing is the cruise control comes first and it's a 8 pulse counter, then a short 1. VSS which is a two pulse counter. The existing VSS is/was a mechanical drive unit with male in and male out 5/8 thread. We found it at a hot rod suppler that specializes in converting foreign cars to use American motors. Jaguars that Run (Jags. That. Run) had it in stock for 8. Ironically, the unit we received from JTR is exactly the same unit and manufacture as the original Mallard installed aftermarket part. This was not an NOS part but was new- - odd as we could not find that manufacturer on line. Please feel free to share this with your readers. The original signal generator was a Delco part, but discontinues a long, long time ago. Most of the ones being used today are Dana parts. If you look at the Dana Rosta after market cruise control units, you will see the signal generator. It's been a long time since I searched for one so the name I mentioned could have changed also. But Gear Vendor also uses that same signal generator for the speed signal to activate their units; and Gear Vender also supplies and sells the signal generator. Could be a bad connection or a problem with the disconnect solenoid. It. sounded and felt to me like I had broke a hose, yet. I checked the hose was intact and the system was. What chassis do you have? What is the proper. Holley regulator? It has done this since. We are at a loss for ideas. Check to see if your instrument cluster is hinged, if so. If you call Freightliner and have your VIN they can see you one, but you will also have to purchase a small wiring harness to connect it. Oshkosh used a fuel pump fuse. The relay could be mounted inside on the fire wall near the floor line and steering column, or it could be with the chassis fuse panel outside of the fire wall. My RV seems to run great but. Is 4. 5mph up a slight hill normal? Should it take. five minutes to reach 5. What are some. problem areas to look for? Has new wires, plugs and. You should be to.

Sometimes if they didn't use a controller they had one switch, usually on monitor panel that was the master switch that had to be on before the other switches would work. You should have a relay tied up someplace under the dash tied up in the wiring harness. Right rear blinker doesn't work. It will crank and run great. I. was wondering what style I need to put on it and should. I put it near the tank at the bottom or top or should I. It was usually mounted on a cross member just in front of the tank near the top. The Holly red fuel pump is a good replacement pump. Make sure you're not loosing power to the pump, it could be a bad relay. I. am trying to find the 1. Do you know where the fuse box is on this.

Then ground connections, speed sensor and wiring. Test the alternator, you should have an ideal by then if it is an issue with the ECM. It is probably with the breakers and fuses.

I don't. know what to do now because they won't pass my. Any advice would be. Some of those had a small control module under the dash that picked up the signal form the G. C. M. Look inside under the dash around the steering column. I know it has a couple of relays for the pump, usually on the radiator support, next to the horns or behind the battery; but I don't know that I have ever seen the reset shut down switch on those older units.

I have had this problem for the past three years. It has. a Ford 4. V8 with 9 pulleys. Belts have come. completely off. If we could get a list of the part. Is there a switch somewhere? Can't find info. in the limited manual that came with it. Some of the older motor homes had a. When we drive it, it seems to not run out. I wouldn't drive it until it's fixed. You can't see the fuel flying out. If you don't see a pump on the engine or inside of the frame rail, then it will be in the tank, electric. It will go in with a C- clamp. I press the brake. Put it all back. together and it brakes but will not release. Thinking it might be a fuse but not sure where. I believe it has a floor mounted dimmer switch on your model. Check for power in and out of the switch. No power in, back up to head light switch. If you have power out of the. He said it was some kind. I haven't found anything where a fuse. Do you know where to. I have seen them over the dog house under the dash as well. It is about 3 inches in front of the. It connects to the. Is that the fuel regulator or. If you can't find a GM replacement you can get a Holley after market regulator. It will idle, but when you put it in gear it. My son is trying to get it moved to a location in. Is Mom crazy or could this. Would appreciate any GOOD advice. He needs a place to sleep. He could have a bad ignition module causing low. In turn, my gas gauge has. I smelled burning.

Then you will have to test the battery to see if the battery shorted or if there is a problem with the charging. Is there an air vent or valve that I should. And if so, where would it be? The plastic strap that holds the cap for the fresh water fill is usually the plug for the vent line and should be removed while filling. Can't find under hood. There is one. on roof. If that is it how do I replace? The horn is. screwed down to the roof and it's probably an air horn. Make sure you're getting air to the horn. Once the fuse is.
