Water to sink and bathroom & shower is very slow. This happens when using the pump or hooked up to city water. Could the filter be plugged? Just got this coach and do not know if the filter was ever replaced.
Tail lites and lower dash lites are dim. Only have 9 volts to the tail lites. If I put a jumper from the battery to to tail lite wire when they are on they get bright and so do the dash lites. Any help would be welcome.

water filter could certainly be glogged. It's a safe bet that the filter is clogged. Got rid of mine and use external filters.

However, on the verge of not knowing what i'm talking about--i remember someone talking about having to clean a "distibution valve". I think this delt only with the shower though. Check all the archives.

First the "water filter" is not a filter at all, but rather a water purifier that was originally designed to allow you to drink water from any country. The purifyer was good for 75,000 gallons or five to seven years of use. The purifyer may be clogged but that should have no impact on pump use since the purifyer only treats water from the city water inlet.

You need to install Bosh 30 amp relay and use the 9 volt tail light voltage to excite the relay. Then provide a new wire directly from the battery to the relay and then on to the tail light circuit. When you pull on the headlight switch, the voltage to the tail light will instead switch higher battery current directly to the tail lights. Also disassemble and clean all the ground connections in and around the engine compartment door. There is a major ground connection on the rear upper door passanger side. I suspect the dash lights brighten because you have reduced the voltage demand at the headlight switch by applying voltage at the end of the circuit.

As to lites I think I read in the manual that the dash & tail lites are fed from the same circut. Will try the relay, Iam sure it will do the trick for the tail lites and hope it works for dash lites. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
