Country Coach Question

[dale farley]

Do any of the other CC owners know if the light switch panel to the left of the entrance door is fused. I took mine out to do remove one of the switches and shorted something. I either killed the circuit board or blew a breaker. I did not find a blown breaker in my ECC.

My front bumper release, bay door locks and entrance door lock work, but none of the lights.

The lights are controlled by the ECC Dale. You won't find any breakers. If you shorted something out and all the fuses are OK, I would suspect the board. The other items you mentioned are also controlled by the ECC, but probably a different board.

Flyman John, what say you?

Tom, I don't understand why some of the things work and some don't. When I say board, I am referring to the board that the switches by the door are attached to. I suppose it is possible, but if the board is bad, I am surprised that any of the switches are functioning. I haven't been able to find anything on the schematics.

Dale,

It is possible for this to happen. I have a board in my CC that works the computer dash to change displays and resets trip indicators and it is functioning just as you explained - everything works but no light on the switches. Nick Hessler looked at it in Branson and said it was the board. On the printed circuit there is a broken connection that affects the lighted switches.

Your board needs repaired or replaced, I think. Call Country Coach or Nick for repairs or replacement. There is also a company in Ohio that will repair boards - Colburn Electronic Controls, 865-773-7098. I talked to them months ago and asked about the boards when I was having problems with my computer dash. At the time, I spoke with Deanna and she said they could fix or remake any circuit board.

I probably did blow the board. I plugged the plug in the wrong way before I noticed there was nothing to prevent this from happening. What's bad is that I had no problem with the board or the lights before I started.

I took it apart in an attempt to add one of the plastic flip-up covers to the Front Bumper Release switch. It is too easy to accidentally hit that switch. I didn't realize how the switches were made, and that I had to completely remove the switch to add the cover. In retrospect, I wish I had left "well enough" alone.

Dale,

It's quite possible that the board the buttons are mounted to has been fried, but I was referring to the daughter boards in the ECC.

Identify the wire number to one of the buttons your having trouble with and find that wire number on the backside of the mother board. There will be a tiny micro switch you can push to activate or deactivate the light (this has the same function as pushing the button on the board you took apart). See if you have 12v at that little switch. If it works properly, then the board you took apart would be suspect. All of this assumes you didn't blow a fuse on the front side of the daughter boards. Seems to me that if you shorted out something, you would find a blown fuse on the daughter board.

I have a button above the door for the door light that does not work. On the backside of the motherboard, the little micro switch for that wire number does not work, so I have a bad daughter board for that one light, the rest of the micro switches on that one board work fine.

Good luck.....
