Electrical problem - where to start?

[mbulriss]

Wayne,

+1 on what Ernie said. You need to check that out ASAP. The common wire had
come loose in the coach plug on my Bird and every now and then that same thing
happened. I would check both plug ends for tight wire connections first. If
not that, then on to Ralph's tutorial.....

search about that and when you come to message # 37132 that is the section that
talks about it. I suspect your plug at either the house end or the coach end has
a wire that has come loose. Ernie Ekberg, 83PT40 in Texas

Bird will give you a small "shock" whenever you touch the outside of the bus
(not wearing shoes of course). So if you are barefoot and try to open the
doors, zap!. Needless to say the wife and kids do not care for this feature.

haven't made any electrical changes. Any suggestions on where to start? I have
a EE background so I know a little about this area, just not sure how best to
tackle this one.
