Circuit finder
If anybody attending the SWBB Rally in Buelton next week has a
circuit finder (tool) and can bring it along it would be appreciated. (My wife has objected to me buying one <sigh>. -- But then, she objects to me buying any tools...) The circuit that serves the passenger seat controls is dead -- and I've been unable to find any loose wires or blown fuses or any other evidence of an open circuit. Of course, the wiring diagrams I have don't have anything helpful, like a listing for the passenger seat or any indication where the circuit might run -- or even what fuse serves it. In the meantime, I've wired up a temporary plug for the cigarette lighter, so my wife can adjust her seat ... but it's a little inconvenient having a wire dangling across to the lighter from the passenger seat. Since the seat seems to operate normally with this temporary wiring solution, it seems like the original circuit may have simply had something come apart somewhere, rather than a more serious problem, like a short... =============================================== Pete Masterson, Author of Book Design and Production: A Guide for Authors and Publishers Aeonix1@...

Bill I believe Curt Sprenger has one and he is attending the rally from what
I heard.

Pete,
I have a tone generator & inductive amplifier. You are welcome to try them. We plan to arrive in Buellton about 2:00pm Thursday.

In my drawings (85 PT36) a curcuit breaker is shown in the right hand
front load center, above the occational table.

Pete,
In my coach, behind the passenger seat and between the two chairs there is a twelve volt outlet on the wall. FWIW Howard T.

Appreciate the suggestions ... but no breaker and no 12v outlet are
located as indicated on my coach. Indeed, the only 12v "outlet" I have is the cigarette lighter on the dash above the radio. There are two 12v load centers, one in the rear closet (street side) and one accessible from outside across the front of the vehicle. If there are other load centers or distribution panels, they are behind instrument panels that would require serious dismantling to get to ... it would seem unlikely that fuses would be placed there. I suspect that the power source for the seat has come loose somewhere -- and, ultimately, it may be impossible to locate where that occurred. However, it would be nice to see if I could find "the other end" of the wire if it is in the forward load center where I suspect is resides.
