Title: Maybe U folks can help

Hi CC owners

I have read the groups previous posts and wanted to ask Damon particully this question or others who might know.

I own a 2001 CC Allure the coach lost it's aft left Ride height control valve. I was able to override the valve and limp home. I will be glad to share more on this if anyone cares.

The ride height valve was replaced and the coach seemed fine. Since this repair my family and I have traveled 400 miles. I notice that there is recently a slight sag once again in the aft left side approx 1 to 2 inches. Yes I will check the rods for the ride height control but should they be getting loose after a few hundred miles? I know they are just rubber with two SS bands any thoughts.

last question today the flashers did a strange thing they are flashing

at rapid rates. This occurs when the turn signals are used or the hazards. There are no blown out bulbs from any system. I am thinking there is some type of can relay that controls the flashing in the dash. Does anyone have another idea?

Thanks
Ian

Where is the switch for the hazard lights on a Allure 2002? I keep forgetting to check, and don't believe I was told in my walkthrough.

Hi Ian, I am leaving for Georgia right now. Your ride hieght needs to be adjusted and your flasher needs to be checked or replaced.
It is common for the ride hieght to change slightly after a new valve.

Have you considered the possibility if a high pressure leak in your left rear airbag. I had this is my '99 Intrigue and it resulted in a low ride height.

Update

Turns out that CC uses a #522 standard hazard and turn signal flasher.
This flasher is not heavy duty. There are many better choices on the market I replaced it with a LF12 basically a heavier duty relay. The turn signals and hazard are working back to normal.
The relay for the Intrigue and Allure is located on the right side when entering the coach behind the large rectangular cover.
Regarding the ride height it is scheduled for manitance this week and I will have it adjusted. I am not keen on going under the coach to adjust it with the possibility of the airbag lowering the coach ontop of me. I have hurt myself to many times I'm learning be it slowly.

Thanks CC Owners
