Newbie with warning buzzer sounding

[Gary Miller]

Steve,

Congrats on your new coach.

There are a few reasons for the buzzer, I don't believe any are
related to the generator battery. With an old bird though, you never
know what's been changed around or added.

An engine alarm buzzer (and light NOT from the same signal wire)
A low air buzzer (and light which come off the same sender)
A headlight alert buzzer (and light from the same sender)
A leveling jacks not UP alert (and lights if you have the master
switch on - not sure how they're related)

If you have no light (assuming all lights work, which you can check
by activating the associated system. The engine alarm should come on
with the engine off and key on, may take a few moments though.) I
would guess you have a leveling jack not quite all the way up or a
misaligned or bad mercury switch on it. From your post, I'm assuming
you have no associated light.

The buzzers are all behind the drivers headlight panel. You can
always open the panel and see which one is on, note the wire color,
and post again to have it checked on a schematic for you. You can
also change out these annoying buzzers for some friendlier chimes
from your local NAPA store.

One last buzzer is the Racor water in fuel alarm and light on the
overhead panel. (I think it's on the overhead in your '85)
