Electrical Drawings

[dreamchasers]

I am attempting to contact Country Coach technical support to get electrical drawings for my coach. My success with Country Coach technical support is described as 'marginal' at best. Getting a return telephone call is truly an effort.

Would any Country Coach owners have a set of electrical drawings pertaining to modifications made by Country Coach. I have drawing for the CCI controller in the basement(Willing to trade data). I am particularly interested in the dash wiring. Upon inspection today, I noticed a wire hanging loose, unattached to anything with a number 184 attached to it. I am troubleshooting an intermittent 'parking brake light' issue. When I set the parking brake, the dash light, 'parking light', will intermittently light. As many may remember, I was inquiring how to initiate 'fast idle', well the fast idle functions from the 'resume' button only when the 'parking brake light' is on. It is quite a maze of wiring and a set of wiring schematics would assist. I am willing to pay for a complete set.

Contact Nick Hessler of Centurion. He'll tell you exactly what the #184 wire (or any other number) is for.

His email is listed on the sponsors page. He probably worked on your coach when it was being built!

Ray,

I just got off of the telephone with Nick. He is a very nice guy! He has plenty of data and will work the issue Monday.

Thanks for the idea!

Hector,

I had the same issue on ours. It was the pressure switch. If you look at the park brake switch, behind the panel, you'll see the pressure switch. I went to a local truck shop and bought one for around 6 dollars. You want a N/C or normal closed pressure switch. When you pull the park brake, you let the air out of the system and the switch closes and the light goes on.

The pressure switch is a 1/4 inch NPT tread.

That dash wire #184 might very well be a prevost wire not CC.

The #184 wire is the signal from the fuel gauge to the GSD circuit (Generator Shutdown Device) that shuts the generator down when you have less than 1/4 tank of fuel. Apparently, the wire has come loose or has been disabled by a previous owner. I will work with Nick next week to figure out how the signal is routed.

Dale,

I was not aware that a pressure switch existed attached to the pneumatic Park Brake actuator button. I thought the park brake pressure switch was located in the front storage compartment (Spare tire compartment) I will check it out. What a learning experience! I bet that is the problem.

Thanks,
Hector
