Where are my circuit breakers? 87FC35

[Scott]

Hey there Alan, congrats on the new to you coach. I have an 86FC35RB.
When talking about lighting it can be somewhat confusing as most
things with older BB.

I think Leroy is correct. The amber lights on the side of the coach
are turn signals. The only running or marker lights are amber on
front cap, red on the back cap and red/amber along the goat rail. You
should be able to turn those on with a switch on the dash "MARKER
LIGHTS" mine do not come on automatically. There are some "stick on"
amber markers but they do not have lights.

Now for some confusing stuff..There is a solenoid in the upper front
compartment above the driver, this solenoid works the turn signals in
the rear, along with the heavy duty switch under the dash. Plus when
working on the lights, the tail/turn lights in the rear go through a
load center, mine are located in the upper rear load center passenger
side, above a bed in our case. A good upgrade is to add a relay to
push more power to dim lights both headlights and rear lights. Also
some have removed the lenses and put chrome finish on the inside of
the lamp assembly itself. Either paint or the easiest in my opinion
is to us some hvac tape. The thin aluminum tape that hvac folks use,
it is adhesive on the back, some have even cut pie pans to put in
there.

Best of luck
