Thanks, Steve. Do you know if those lights will function as signal lights, brake lights and running all in one light? I saw some similar lights at Harbor freight but there was only a black and white wire going into it. Wasn’t sure if that light would also do all of the functions.

Technical Support / Running tail lights
« Last post by Fred Cook on November 19, 2025, 07:35:57 PM »
Does anyone know where I can find the vertical tail running lights for my coach? It’s essentially a strip of LED lights with red lens about 14 inches long and about 3/4 inch wide. One light goes on each side of the couch in the back. Also need the horizontal strip in the middle. I called Beaver Coach Sales and they are no longer available. They recommend I go to a salvage yard but maybe someone might know a better place.

Edit: the tank I serviced is in the rear right corner when raising the servicing door there.

I don't think you filled the hydraulic reservoir for the slides and leveling system. The pump (#22 in the diagram) is likely a gold cylinder on top, a thick square plate with 4 hoses connected then a black cylinder at the bottom which is the correct reservoir. There is a cap on the tank you can remove and fill with oil. I think it's 1.5" from the top of the fill port, but that is just my memory. There should be a sticker or a fill mark. You can get a 18" rod to stick into the reservoir to see the level like a dip stick.

If the pump won't run there are a few possibilities related to power to the pump motor.
1) check for power at the motor solenoid supply.
2)!check for a proper ground to the motor pump
3) Try using a jumper cable to jump across the pump motor solenoid ( it's possible you just have a bad solenoid).

If you have a good source of power and ground to the pump motor and it still won't run you may have a bad motor or a seized pump .
If it is just the motor not working with power applied try tapping on the motor with a hammer ( not hard ) to see if the motor brushes are just sticking or not making contact .

Did you top up the reservoir with the leveling jacks up or down and slides in or out ( every thing should be retracted before a top up)


Hope this helps

Hello Folks! New member here with a 2003 Patriot. New issue, the big slide doesn't extend and the leveling system faults out. The tank was low on oil so I serviced it with 2 qts and filled it. I can hear the power really clicking in the back but the pump doesn't come on. Any direction from the gurus here would be appreciated.

Edit: the tank I serviced is in the rear right corner when raising the servicing door there.

Can you also supply a company name ,phone number and maybe a contact person to talk to ?

Technical Support / Transmission shift pad problems
« Last post by Roy Boles on November 16, 2025, 12:41:08 AM »
  My shift pad started having trouble with shifting into neutral. I contacted a company called Transmission Instruments that said that they rebuild the Allison shift pads. I sent mine in along with a check for the cost of the repair. It was returned in a timely manner, it looks and works like new. Hope this helps someone out that might have similar problem.

If you have a fridge with ice maker or a stand-alone ice maker, be sure you blow out and anti-freeze those also.  And remember to flush them well with fresh water next spring.
