Title: Engine break not engaging
Post by: Jim Simonet on May 31, 2020, 04:15:35 PM

Hi Everyone,

We just arrived at our summer spot in Pagosa Springs, CO from SPI, TX.  During the drive up, I noticed that when I engaged the engine break on either high or low setting the dash lights all seemed to function normally as well as the transmission shifting to 4.  Although all seemed normal, I wasn't getting any braking - it never did engage.

Is this something that I can check on myself?   It wasn't a deal breaker coming up here, but I would really like to have it working properly when I leave in late September.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim, sounds like you lost power to the compression brake actuator Being both functions on switch not working. That is where  I
