Corey, I know some folks in Wimberly. I was actually there
Thursday. Who did you buy your coach from? MIke McMahan 96 42

one of those.

the same thermostat that controls the space Cadet front electric toe
heater in my coach.. My control is located over my left pilot
shoulder between the pilot window and the roadside couch window. The
front a/c heat master switch must be on for it to work.

> There is a panel on the front of your coach with 20+ "screws"
holding it in place. (Note, those "screws" are 1/4 turn fasteners
with a spring behind them.) Use a screw driver, press "in" and turn
counter-clockwise, the the fastener should pop-out (but remain in
it's place -- they don't come all the way out).
> The panel (made of fiberglas) is heavy and may 'stick' to the
weather seal a bit. You may need to use a thin-blade screwdriver to
get the panel to come away. Try not to drop it as you might chip the
paint.
> Once you're "in" the leveling jacks are controlled by "SK24" a 15
amp fuse. Also "SK69" is associated with "leveling jack ign/step ign
trigger."
> Obviously, if the breaker has flipped (or fuse has blown) you'll
need to determine why this occurred. It is possible that there was a
situation where the jacks were briefly overloaded and the breaker
tripping is non-serious. But it is also possible that there is a more
serious problem. A multi-meter is helpful.
> Note: you can download a chart I prepared for my coach (a '95 but
likely very similar) for the front power center from
<http://homepage. mac.com/aeonix1/> File is named "LOAD_CENTER-
FRT_95WL42. pdf"
> Another non-intuitive hint. The AC switches on the driver's dash
panel must be turned on for the heaters to work. AquaHot heat is
controlled by the AC thermostats by setting the right-hand switch
to "gas heat". You also need to turn on the "AH" switch on the dash
panel (upper left quadrant , second row of the largest switch and
instrument display).

> Well 1 problem crossed off the list. I found the thermostat and
turned off the fan. I knew it was going to be something simple, I
just couldnt figure out where they had hidden the control.
> As far as the jacks, I'm still stuck. i cant get power to the
control panel to even operate the system. I'm familiar with how the
system functions, but I kill the motor, turn the key to the on
position, press the button on the pad, and nothing. No lights, no
indicators, no noises, its like I'm pressing on a blank wall. I'm
sure there is a fuse or breaker somewhere that is tripped or blown,
but I have no idea where it might be located.
> I'm sorry for the questions, but I've never had anyone instruct me
on the Bluebird, or where any of its systems and controls are locate,
so it feels as if I'm on a treasure hunt most of the time.

yesterday morning and drove to Wimberley, then came on home today.

every bit as good of shape as described, better than I expected.
We drove a little over 500miles, and truely made the trip without a
glitch.
> Now for my first questions, I have the same door problems as
addressed in the door seal thread, so I'm going to try the remedies
previously posted before asking additional questions.

ability to level the coach. I'm not familiar with using jacks, as
our last coach used the air to level, but I cant get a light to
flicker on the control pad, so I don't know where to go from there.
> 2. There is a kool o matic fan in the galley, the fan runs all the
time, and i absolutely cant find a switch or rheostat to control the
fan. So currently it runs all the time and like a dummy, I don't
know where to turn it off.
> I have several smaller issues, but I will address these 1 by 1 to
make sure I get everything completed before taking on the next task.
