1978 air srep
Gardner: I'm happy the war department is on the same page with you. Keep
pecking away, you will be glad you did. There's nothing like a good BB, old or
new.

Jeff,
I did some checking and determined the valve was getting power but wasn't
working. I found the single relay as you suggested. Tom (the previous owner)
left a new Granger valve with all the trimmings in the coach. I hooked it up
and the step works fine. Unfortunately the step needs to be rebuilt due to
rust, so I'm half way there.

By the way, I have tons of drawings and books and service history since
1990 thanks to attentive previous owners. I have been referencing them each
time I find something I don't understand.

My wife has been deep cleaning the interior for two days. She keeps
remarking on how well the coach is laid out and how easy things are to
clean, like the headliner. The fit, finish and quality is showing up
everywhere. Now all I need to do is figure out each electrical circuit and
check it for proper functionality. Here is where time has taken its toll.
Old switches and connections, a little home spun repair work and dirt and
moisture.

Thanks again for your help,

Gardner

Note that the '78 has only one limit switch and a different wiring
than the '84, best to find the correct wiring diagram to start. '84
had two different wiring diagrams for the air-step depending on the
production date.
