Electrical issue

Yahoo Message Number: 106961
Here is what is happening to my motor home in stages.

1996 Country Coach Affinity

  • VIN# ************42876
  • 40' CGFD "American Pride" Affinity
  • Built in : Junction City , OR in Nov. 1995
  • Gillig Chassis 3176 "Air Ride"
  • Engine CAT 3176: 350 HP

1. Cleaning rear exterior lights and when putting bulbs back in noticed that yellow covered bulbs (blinker?) when seated in slots would not light up. I had to twist them partially back out to get them to light up.

2. I have replaced the alternator hoping that would solve my cruise control cutting out issue. Did not solve the issue. Could it be the voltage regulator? If so, where is it?

3. On my way home from camping the "caution, alternator charge failure" message occurred quite often. Noticed battery charge was low around 10 or 11 volts. This message has occurred before when starting up, but not this often and while I was driving.

4. While all this was occurring the tachometer ceased working.

5. Went to move MH today, and tachometer works again, no warning message about alternator.

6. Plugged in MH and battery charger in inverter will not work and no power to the coach. Inverter is working.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!
