Problem in coach's toad wiring system
Yahoo Message Number: 107035
I'm having some trouble locating a wiring problem in the coach's toad wiring circuit.
Symptom: the toad driver's side brake light/turn signal is always ON (not flashing) when the umbilical cord is connected to the coach. All other lights on the toad and coach function normally when the umbilical cord is connected. When the toad is disconnected from the coach, all the toad lights and all the coach lights function normally.
I can see that the left brake light/turn signal wire is always activated (~12v) at the connector on the rear of the coach. The corresponding "output" wire leaving the circuit board (mounted on the floor under the drawers in the bedroom) is also activated at all times. Pulling the appropriate blade fuse deactivates the "output" wire.
It appears there is at least one circuit board "input" wire that is also activated at all times - the left brake/turn signal wire?
When the turn signal lever on the steering column is activated for either a left or right turn, I can hear the audible "flasher" in the driver's area. At the circuit board in the rear I can hear an audible flasher for the right turn signal only; nothing for the left turn signal.
The problem is I can't located the source of the rear "flasher" sound. I can't tell if it comes from the board itself or a nearby external device.
This problem has been intermittent for the past year or so, but is now constant.
So far I haven't found any local technicians eager to troubleshoot this problem.
Any help/advice will be appreciated.
