Headlights and parking lights won’t come on.

<< < (2/2)

Dale Malquist:
Becoming clear. I have the smart wheel schematic for this particular smart wheel.
SWC2 is the J2 connector on the smart wheel controller. It has nine pins of which number six which is headlamps out. This wire feeds the coil on RLHL which is also RLll. This wire is marked 76 VIP Headlts out and goes from SWC2-6 to VCE on the pub. I have 12v at SMC2 pin 6 and have 0 at pin 86 on RLll.
Tomorrow I’ll on that wire.

I have voltage at pin 30 of the headlight relay. I do not have voltage on the wire going up the column.the wire going up the column is marked “high lo sw” I assume is the feed to the dimmer switch. The other two wires in the 3 wire bundle are marked high and low.
There must be a wire from the pcb that goes to the dimmer switch I can not find.

I did find the wire from pcb to dimmer switch. It is VCE 1.
There is a better wiring diagram "07Contessa specific Elec Bay PCB Block Diagram2" that my brother-in-law found on the net. On there I found a fuse between terminal 30 on Rll and VCE1 that was blown. Then I found that the wire between pcb and dimmer switch is grounded. Going to bypass it.
I will email the diagrams and hope they help others.

Dale,
Good catch. The prints you sent are on the Coach Assist page. I loaded them a couple of years ago I should have looked at them rather than the diagram as the 2 documents do not agree. Also the fuse, F69 is labeled in the fuse list from Monaco as "Not Used Ign." I suspect it blew because of the grounded wire. One thing I always do if I suspect a fuse and it's not obvious as to which one is to use a 12v probe and run through all the fuses. Takes a couple of minutes but a good way to spot a bad one. Not the first time I've run into this sort of thing re Monaco prints. I'll update the fuse list and repost.
I'm going to delete a number of the back and forth posts between us and just leave the key ones and the solution if OK w/you.
Steve

Dale Malquist:
As it turned out somewhere along the line somebody decided I didn't need the daytime running light module on the panel. Seeing an empty socket I plugged in a relay like all the others. This sent the headlights directly to ground blowing the fuse. I left the socket empty.
