Thanks George T I will try new thread
Yesterday early we headed towards Bus N USA. Near The Dalles OR the house genset quit, would start run a couple pops and stop. At about the same time most of the electric gauges on the dash stopped, driver fan quit, the electric tranny shift locked in Drive. I said before the front air bags dropped but it was the rear. I got locals to help but could be none after 5 hrs was left sitting in the parking lot not knowing what to do. With 15 ver hot pug dogs we headed home in the limp along 4905. We made it home after mid nite. Could use some sugestions and or someone who could help, problem is bad enough I could travel to the help. Thank you George Todd for the advise and will look. Will have to check I do not know what voltage the gauges are but the lites for the gauges worked. Every thing around and in the battery compartment I have checked.
Thanks everyone in advance for the help.
Will try BusNUSA next year, have already missed dog show. 4905, Larry

Larry,
A couple of things real quick, as I have to leave for work.
The dash gauges and their lights are two seperate circuits. The lights are usually powered thru the headlight circuit. Gauge power comes thru the master switch, and MAY go thru a GAUGE regulator, may not, then to the gauges, except the ammeter, if you have one. It will continue to work with no gauge power.
I assume your trans controller shifts with air? Now that it is rear air bags, maybe there are two problems, elec, and aux air? Still need to know if aux. leveling system!
Look at the back of the master switch, and the wires to and from it.
Will be back in a couple of days...

George nobody else answered so will answer to you.
Today I had time to look very good under the coach and could see two looms of wires and two air hoses hanging down, don't know if I drug them into or just what happened. Do think this is my problem.
So don't have to drive clear to Portland. Think I can fix localaly will do these repairs and go from there. I really like your help and thank you very much, I am so lost when trouble occures. Larry
