Technical Support / Removing mirrors

« Last post by David Ciotti on September 12, 2026, 06:28:53 PM »

How do I remove the front mirror passenger side on my 2002 Marquis?  I broke what looks like a white metal piece and the mirrors are hanging from the wires.

This is the second time that telephone pole in front of my house jumped in front of me.

I’ve been looking  for a couple week found one on eBay and fleet pride has one problem is they are from two different manufacturers . I would prefer to get two from the same. I called beaver coach sales and they said they have two but from the part # I gave him that fits up to 1997 year ,so now I’m waiting till Monday for there guy who specializes in these older beavers to call me back to confirm the correct number.
If I knew what these actually were used on other than our coaches I could prob get kits I’d rebuild them myself. Im questioning buying this thing now.

Chuck,

They are available at most heavy truck suppliers, I believe that I used Fleet Pride, but looking on line it appears that many suppliers are currently out of stock.  You may need to call around to find someone who has a set sitting on the shelves.  Not really much help, but they are out there.

Try a GOOGLE search for the parts.  There is a left and right side caliper, it appears.

I used "2Pcs Front Brake Calipers OE# 14179001 for Ford L800 1984 ..." as the search argument.

Technical Support / Re: Dash AC Max Fan kills it

« Last post by Steve Huber on September 11, 2026, 02:08:35 PM »

It sounds like your fan resistor may be overheating and blowing the fuse. If so, it should do it on non-AC setting also. I had to replace mine on our 2000 Marquis. If memory holds, it was located in the front firewall on the drivers side and was not too tough to get to. It's a Ford part. The Acme part # is D32H-19A706-AB.

Technical Support / Dash AC Max Fan kills it

« Last post by Dave Mays on September 11, 2026, 01:12:29 AM »

I have a 2001 Beaver Patriot Thunder. Working on the AC, replaced the compressor, the pressure switch, cleaned 20 years of grime of the condenser fan. It is is working great, the thing that is not, I can turn the fan to max, which I have read is good as it closes the vent to recirculate. However after about 10 minutes or so the fan dies, and the fuse blows. I have to shutdown the rig, wait about 30 minutes, then when I restart, it works again. So I am limited to keeping the fan one notch below max. Any ideas on what might be happening? How difficult is it to work on the dash parts? It looks impossible on how to get to reach it from underneath, my arms aren't that long. Thanks for any help

Holy smokes guys - you are amazing!!!! We have been dealing with some grandbaby-sitting and had to leave the beast for a bit. We have discussed this whole thing over and over with the various mechanics and your discussion has helped immensly!!!! The cut-off switches are now labeled and we feel so much more confident about which ones are which. It seems logical now. The house batteries were not working when we first started this as the tech had put in new battery cut off switches in the battery compartment and had not connected something - the house battery switch did not "click" - - but also had managed to touch something and drain the batteries. They must have fixed the install and charged the batteries and we are back in business. A whole different switch - the one on the engine for a mechanic to start the engine from the back - has worn a lot and has been slipping which creates an engine comm failure. The new switch has been ordered. I think we are following through on some of these recurring problems and are learning along the way. Better to learn at home and not on the road!!!! Thank You so much!!!!  Ante and Ginny
