Title: Something...what is it
Post by: Tikvah on October 14, 2014, 01:55:21 PM
Tried to get a good pic, but hard to do.  I'm standing at the rear of the coach looking over and to the left of the engine.  This is bolted to the ceiling of the engine bay in driver side.

I see a broken wire

Your override system it overrules the shutdown so you can move the bus if needed after a shutdown lol most wire are cut on those they can work good or cause you a lot of grief like the starter not engaging for some unknown reason looks like yours wasn't working good

Yeah, I NOW see two, (2) broken wires also.  Could they be related?  If possible, could you remove that short broken off connector and compare it to the broken off longer piece of wire?  Where else could the broken wire possibly go to?

And...what could cause the wire to break off?

Old coach.  Sometimes lackluster repairs were made.  It could be just somebody's left over spare non needed wire ends, or it could be something very important.  We need somebody to identify the stuff the wires go to.  HB of CJ (old coot)

I think I see only one broken wire.  The wire goes to a ground point and has rusted away, then it goes to the brown rusty round thing and is actually broken.

Where do you see another?
