Technical Support / Re: 2004 Patriot Thunder Entry Door Questions

« Last post by Bill Borden on September 13, 2026, 03:27:46 AM »

Thanks Eric,

That is what I planned to do, the door is definitely constructed differently than the 2000 coach.  I had that one apart & repaired pretty quickly.  In looking at this one, it looks like it is more involved.

Hopefully, I can swap out the lock without too much hassle.

Thanks for the input.

There should be a allen head set screw that holds the ball in the socket. There may also be a bolt that is accessed from under the arm.  The mirror will pull out from there with the wiring harness.  The arms have to be unbolted from inside.

That is the # I gave beaver coach sales , Steven said it showed to fit up to 97. Their obsolete. Parts guy that knows beavers is going to confirm that Monday . The one you posted looks correct from what I remember when I did my air bags . I’ll let you know Monday..  that shows to be a new caliper also which would be nice.

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.
