Musical horn module

[Ron Thompson]

Pete, Thanks for that information. You are veritable pool of knowledge and always take the time to carefully explain things. Don't ever leave the forum, even if you sell your Bluebird. Too bad I just bought one a year and a half ago. I would jump on yours. Thanks again.

Danger -- the "screws" are not screws, but are 1/4 turn spring loaded connecters. Turning them with a power screw driver can/will break them, causing a headache to replace same. (Please don't ask how I happen to know this.) To unlock the fasteners, push in and turn counter clockwise, then release. It should pop out about 1/3 inch, but will not fall out (unless the fastener is partially broken). When you remove the cover, be sure to take care in handling it -- it's not that heavy, but it is awkward to work with. A breezy day is not a good day to fuss with it. Dropping it can chip the paint on the edge. Check the quality of the insulating rubber strip around the perimeter. It's intended to eliminate/reduce water entry during rainy travel. I found it necessary to remove the old and apply a fresh strip obtained from a hardware store. I made a list of all the fuses and relays in the front load center that I could identify (from the wiring diagrams I have) that you can download from <http://homepage. mac.com/aeonix1/> -- file is second from the bottom titled "LOAD_CENTER- FRT_95WL42. pdf" A '95 'bird also has a load center in the rear closet, street side. There is also a "stealth" load center _behind_ the overhead cabinets at the front of the coach above the windshield (inside). The interior backs of the cabinets are removable -- and there are a bunch of fuses, etc. My spouse had managed to blow the fuse for the power passenger seat by twiddling several of the power controls at the same time. I spent weeks trying to trace the power source and only discovered it when I replaced my 'flying saucer' TV antenna and had to poke behind the cabinets for some of the wires -- and (lo, and behold) there was a whole 'n! other po wer center with the blown fuse serving the passenger seat... Sorry, I have never been able to make similar lists of fuses/relays for the overhead or rear power center -- but I've found that 95% of the fuse/electrical issues end up in the front center. ============ ========= ========= ========= ======== Pete Masterson, Author of Book Design and Production: A Guide for Authors and Publishers "Aeonix1@Mac.com" Aeonix Publishing Group http://www.aeonix. com ============ ========= ========= ========= ======== On Feb 17, 2009, at 7:05 AM, Ron Thompson wrote: Fred, Thanks for that info. Now to show my ignorance about everything on this coach. Where exactly is the outside front load center you are talking about? Is that the one on the front! of the coach where you have to take the sheet metal panel off? No electrical info was in the blue box when I bought this coach from an RV dealer. I suspect that the techs that worked for them extracted all the schematics and drawings from the Blue Box. I appreciate your help.
