Technical Support / Re: Engine Shutdown While Driving

« Last post by Bill Heffernan on September 28, 2026, 01:36:07 AM »

Thanks Fred. Yes, we were able to re-start. We found a local mechanic. He went through all the electronics and did not find any issues. He pulled and checked fuel filters - one of them looked a bit rough he said, replaced them and checked fuel pressure, again no problems. After that it ran fine for about 20 miles, when we lost power briefly, but it did not shutdown. We kept going for anther 150 miles with no issues. At this stage it appears that it was a fuel/fuel filter issue. We are back on the road tomorrow. Hopefully no more issues.

Technical Support / Re: 2001 Beaver Marquis. Transmission selector not working

« Last post by Vernon Boen on September 27, 2026, 04:09:52 PM »

Still needing some help....,I replaced the 2 chassis batteries. One of them tested weak and they were 7 years old so I figured just replace and save some hassle later. I also know Allison transmission are very dependent on constant voltage so I wanted to eliminate voltage issues. As I stated before the coach will start at the rear start button in engine bay and I happened to notice the brake lights were on when I turn the key switch on. The lights I have on the dash are check transmission and engine brake applied. I'm assuming something between the two are responsible for the transmission pad not lighting up. I checked the jake brake switch and it is in the off position. I also turned the jake brake on and accelerated the engine and the jake brake engaged when I release throttle. So I know the jake brake switch it ok and the jake brake is performing properly. It also has a different light on the dash that comes on when jake brake is turned an goes out when its turned off aside from the one that is staying on all the time with check transmission light. Ive also checked the brake light switch and it is good. I have also checked all relays and replaced every fuse. Any ideas?

Ours is a 2004 Marquis Sapphire, a step up from the Emerald.  But it is for sale as well.  I am getting too old to be driving a big rig.  We are in Hermiston, OR for a few more weeks, then off to Yuma, AZ for the winter.

Did all 2002 Marquis come with basement air from the factory, or did some come with rooftop air?
