Vorad
« on: Today at 01:49:54 AM »
Hello. I have a 2008 Beaver Marquis. I was hoping someone would know the location of the Eaton Vorad EVT 300 CPU. I believe it has failed and would also like to knwo if anyone has a suggestion on replacement or repair. Thank you

On my 07’ Marquis, it is located inside the left side switch cluster just to the left of the pilot seat. As of know, there are none available. Rick Youngblood was the go to, but last I heard, all of his stock is gone. I have replaced mine twice, so knock on wood, it keeps working. You can get the Cruise Control to work if you cycle the on/off switch 3 times, but the Collision Avoidance System will not work. Not the news you wanted to hear, but at least the CC will still operate. Good luck!

Hi Frank. Thanks for the prompt reply. I did send Rick an email earlier hoping he could help. Haven't heard anything yet. I thought I looked thoroughly for the cpu where it should be but I didn't see it. I'll look again tomorrow morning. Beaver coach sales, Mike thought it was located elsewhere but couldn't remember where.  I see numerous units on ebay but assume they would need specific re-programming. That might kill the project. Did you need to reprogram your 2 units? Any other thoughts would be appreciated. Take care. Mike
