Update: The fuse fixed it, I replaced the condenser fan one as well and found some buildup on it, so should be all good to go. Thanks everyone!

David,

I also had a Patriot and the bolts to the mounts were a full arms length away, and I have long arms.  A smaller person maybe able to get to them from the underneath side and get them off.  I also can not remember if they will sell just the arms or mirrors.  I will try to check to see what I had to buy when I needed to replace one of mine.

I have a Patriot which has access from underneath  up into the cap area but I believe the Marquis is very tight up in there .
I don't think you can get there from inside the coach at all.
Maybe someone with a Marquis of the right vintage can chime in here .
As for the mirror parts you'll have to speak to Ramco about parts availability ( you may have to get the whole assembly)

I've been tapping and Liquid Wrenching but so far no luck.  Will I be able to buy the pot metal part that broke or do I have to replace the entire mirror assembly?

How do I get behind the Cap?  Is it accessible from behind the dash, or from under the Marquis, or do I have to pull the cap?

David
The wire connection should have Spade terminal connectors back in behind the front cap.
Be sure to pull a string back through when you pull those wires back up into the arm so that you can pull the new wires in.

You may need to start taping it back and forth with a small chisel and hammer to get it to break free.  It looks like it is really corroded inside.  Not sure why but they made them from cheaper pot metal and many people have had issues with it breaking.

    William,
  It is a standard auto-reset 12volt circuit breaker, if your 12 volt breakers are configured similar to my coach. I am pretty sure O'riellys, auto zone or Napa. will carry it. Make sure you replace it with same value rated on the breaker. Fred

I replaced the resistor and same problem, that was an easy fix, but didn't resolve. I will try the fuse next. Did you replace with one the fuses that is in the beaver panel or a standalone? If the beaver one where did you get such a thing?

     William,
 I too had an issue with my condenser fan and dash blower on "medium high" setting would run for a short time and then the condenser fan and the dash blower would shut down. It turned out to be a "weak 20 amp" circuit breaker in the electrical bay under the drivers window. Using a 12volt amp clamp-on meter revealed the circuit breaker would trip at 13 amps after 15 minutes of transit. Installed new 20 amp auto reset breaker to correct situation. Fred
