12v Fuses

Thanks Orren, I'll give him a call and get the prints.

I had the same problem with my 97 liberty. I talked to Liberty and they told me about the two relays, one for the interior lights and the other for the Tivoli lights. Both are automotive-type solenoids and there are only two on the panel. They are controlled by the master switches next to the front door. One circuit is labeled LM for Lighting Master and the other, TM for Tivoli Master. They are on the far right side of the panel.

In my case, the lights just started working again. I suspect that the relay contactor just needed a few cycles to knock the "dust" off. In reality, these types of contacts usually rotate a bit when they are used and so I may have hit a dead spot. In any event, repeatedly cycling the TM switch by the front door might give some clues. There should be some audible clicking in the electrical bay when the switch is thrown.

I see that I have one of these relays in my spare parts box that came with the bus and it's labeled "bad". Sounds like a common issue.

I have a call into Daughetry on my water heater issue. I too will ask for a schematic, which I though was impossible!

He send me a PDF file with the electrical diagram/numbering codes for my coach last summer.

Thanks everyone for your help. It was the tivoli master selenoid that went bad and it was replaced at a cost of $26.48. I appreciate everyone getting back to me.

Richard,

Glad it was the relay. To look at the fuses you need, 6 flashlights, 4 magnifying glasses, 3 cosmetic mirrors and if you wear bifocals, your screwed!

I don't know how many other converters use those relays, but from experience I never leave home without spares of that type. On my first Liberty even Prevost made extensive use of that type relay, and while Prevost only makes limited use on my vintage coach there are still enough of them in use on the coach to justify carrying spares.

I strongly urge all owners to inventory their relays and carry at least one of each type. I don't think our relays are so exotic that they cannot be purchased in almost any city, but to have to chase around to find them when on the road is a pain and carrying spares is often a huge time saver.

made a note to pick up spare relays after reading your note about your OTR repair....
