Help with Low pressure indicator switch purchase?

February 11, 2013, 09:43:26 am

This is a great forum. Quick response and very knowledgeable replies so here goes:
I have a 1998 Country Coach Allure with superslide. In the compartment, below the drivers seat, are three (appear to be identical)switches, indicator switches, something like that. Best I could find on the web is they are LP-3 switches. The middle one has a jumper, to ground, on it already so I'm fairly sure it's bad. I was told that without the ground, on the middle switch, that you can't get the slide to operate.

1-What I need to know is, should there be continuity from the single terminal to a good body ground, whenever the system air pressure is 75 psi or greater? One does the other two do not>>>>>>
2-A good place to order replacements, if needed.
3-Getting ready to go to Daytona for race weekend!!!!!!!

Thanks, in advance

Roy,

Sorry I can't answer the first question. But, the center switch on my Affinity went bad, so I just replaced all 3. They are not hard to replace, and fairly cheap.
I got mine from:

http://www.easternmarine.com/lp-3-style-low-pressure-indicator-034041-0 They are a 60 PSI switch, and I had to jumper mine to ground to get the coach to recognize that it was in park, so that the slides would function. Hence the replacing of all 3.
The originals were made by Bendix, but the new ones are Velvac. Part number 034041, LP-3 Switch.
Hope this helps a little.
