Since I've owned my coach (since last summer), I've had a problem with the brake lights staying on for several seconds after I release the brake pedal. On the advice of several, I replaced the two brake light air switches, to no avail. The lights still stay on after the pedal is released.
Last summer, I also noticed that after I would park and exit the coach, that I would often hear a squeak from the undercarriage, which sounded like the coach was moving a bit, but it wasn't.
I'm on a trip now from Arizona to Florida and it's much colder outside. Now, after having replaced the brake light switches, I finally noticed (while driving) that when the squeak is heard, the brake light indicator goes out. This indicates to me that there was pressure still on the brake and that it wasn't being released quickly enough.
During this trip, there were a few instances where the light stayed on for a half mile or so. Nothing felt different otherwise, however the light was annoying and it prevented the re-engagement of the cruise control. Last evening, upon stopping for the night, I looked in horror as the right rear drive wheel rim was filled with brake dust. By golly, I think I've found it!
I spoke with Doug today (from Excalibur) and have made an appointment to see him since I'll soon be in his neighborhood. He says that it might be a Relay valve, or perhaps the Treadle Valve. I just hope that I haven't toasted the shoes too badly, or perhaps even a drum.
The good news is that today I found that by stabbing the pedal quickly, the brake will often release at once. Now that I'm attuned to the sound and the feel, I can clearly feel both the resistance of the stuck shoe as well as the release squeak.
Today's drive was about 350 miles, all interstate with very little brake usage. No additional brake dust. Fortunately, I think that I've caught this one and have a work-around, but still remain anxious as to how bad the damage is.
Has anybody else had this problem?
