Jim: What year is your Coach?

At the bottom of the water heater, input side, there is a valve. This valve
is a 3 way with an air line going to it. It is part of the air blow out for
winterizing. It is known to stick in the "drain" position. On the end of
the valve facing toward the front of the Coach, remove the 4 screws holding
the end cap on. Be careful as there may be a return spring located there.
With the end cap off, you should see the end of the shuttle, this is the
part that is suck. With a pair of needle nose pliers, pull on the end of
the shuttle until it moves toward the front of the Coach. Replace the end
cap and try the hot water once again. I have taken those valves apart,
cleaned and lubed them and return them to service ready to go. It is a PITA
to remove the valve though.

The wiper delay is a PMMI control. You can get in touch with Doug Hampton
of PMMI and see if they are doing any repair on that system.

Safe travels,
