Technical Support / Re: Marker light and tail light fuse keeps blowing
« Last post by mike schott on April 20, 2026, 04:30:15 PM »Eric
Thank you for the reply back. All of the clearance lights operate and appear to look normal when they are lit up. I installed a resettable fuse in the place of the standard fuse. The lights come on for just a brief moment, then immediately shut off until the fuse resets. I’ll start with looking at the clearance light sockets and wiring to see if I can find anything that stands out as an issue. I’m also going to try locate where the wires come from the fuse panel up to the clearance lights to see if there could be any rubbing wires against the chassis. I really appreciate you taking the time to offer a direction on where to start. If you have any other tips, please let me know.
Thanks again
Mike

Technical Support / Cruise control inconsistent
« Last post by Bryan Beamon on April 20, 2026, 12:50:56 AM »Cat C9 with 400hp with Pac exhaust brake will not turn on. I have cleaned all the connection below the drivers seat and found that the cruise will only works by depressing the resume button.all subsequent attempts to activate the cruise failed. Everything else on the smart wheel works.
The exhaust brake is on which according to info says the cruise should function and it did for many years.

If you have the tools and room you can do this yourself. I don't consider this an easy job, and if I ever need to replace mine again I will probably try to hire it out. You will need to get the coach high enough off the ground to be safe and get good access. The side panels will hinge up, but some access is still very tight. The bolts may or may not come out, and the fittings my or may not break. A company with a pit or lift can make this job much easier. It really depends on how hands on you want to be.
That's what I figured and with everything else going on, probably not something I'll undertake, so I'll be looking into a good shop in the Charlotte area in the coming months.
Thanks

I'd start at your trailer connections looking for the wires going to the plug check for worn insulation or chafed wire loom.
Apart from that you might look at your marker lights for any that are out or dim or abnormally bright indicating a possible short or broken bulb filament which could be an int intermittent short to ground.

Technical Support / Marker light and tail light fuse keeps blowing
« Last post by mike schott on April 19, 2026, 04:45:33 PM »Hey everybody, this is my first time having to post something, so I apologize in advance if I do something wrong. I have a 2007 Beaver Contessa Bayshore that intermittently pops the fuse to the marker and tail lights. Sometimes it works great and has no issues, then all of a sudden it will start popping the fuse again. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best place to start looking for the problem. I’m assuming it must be a direct short to ground somewhere, but I’m not sure. Is a spot where I should focus on at first. Any input would be very much appreciated. Thanks

« Last post by Roger Milne on April 18, 2026, 11:13:32 PM »So interesting this post has come up at this time. So I am parked for the next few weeks and then moving into a new home. We just completed 5 days of across the country driving and knew I had a small leak somewhere as I'd lose tank pressure over night and couldn't keep the leveling system at level for more than a night. So I ran it in travel mode and found one of the air bags in the drive axle is leaking pretty good, so I'm facing replacing them all now as they are all aged.
So I see the chart for the part numbers etc on the Tech Support page, but my question is??? Can these be replaced by the owner? or is this a shop job where they can lift this up with commercial jacks/ I need to find a good truck shop in the Charlotte NC area if that's the case. But before I did that I figured I'd ask if this was something we owners can tackle and if so how??
