Hey there, so I got an 102a3 last week, most of the "bus stuff" works but the headlights are one exception.
I do have the shop manual for that bus and from looking at the electrical diagram for the headlights it looked like the power for them came from "in between the two batteries to get 12v. I look a look in the electrical box and there is only one fuse, a 10 amp I think, and it is blown (could not really see what it was for though). So looking in the battery compartment there are two cables with connectors on the ends that look like they used to be bolted to the battery terminal, which made sense because the last owner changed the batteries at some point. Does anyone know which of these cables are which? and how exactly they should be hooked up? one of the cables goes to a 10amp breaker in the battery compartment, the other does not. Is one a positive and one a negative?
One more thing:
If the left blinker works, and with the emergency flashers on they all flash, but the left blinker does not work.... that is probably a faulty switch right?
If the right flasher were out the emergency flashers would not work on the right side, right?
Well, thanks for reading... I'm sure I have a million questions but those are a few that I thought you guys could really help me out with.

Hi Phil,
Your almost right.. Those cables most likely went to a inverter to power the TV systems inside your bus.
Yes, one is + and 1 is - 12v dc.
Your second question sounds like someone installed the wrong bulbs in the turn signals.
Hope this helps
