Re: Front roof ac

[klyday12]

I just went on my first trip in my 1997 Safari Continential everything was great but after a couple hours the front roof ac stopped working (no noise) just stopped. The breakers above bed were good except one has two little switches and one seems tripped but rear ac worked fine. anyone ever have this happen any thoughts any other fuses anyone knows of? also the fan wouldn't work either.My water pump for my drinking water supply does not work light comes on but no pressure anyone know where the pump is located so i can change it out.

Thanks in advance

Kevin

I ave had that a few times however my experience may differ from yours, what I had found was that the inverter box fuse had tripped that is the next compartment over from were the generator is located. the next time it happened....mind you this is in a very short time frame that we bought the coach I found bad wiring connectors and the batteries were shot ( hardly any water) and loose nuts along with corrosion on the terminals that was not visible by looking at the connections until I pulled them off....not good. Third time I found a bad connection on a wire behind the thermostat. fun huh? But by far the best one was filling up out in the middle of no were to only find out the next morning that the alt wire broke off so it would not charge the chassis batteries.... good thing for the combine switch to get away from the pump it's always one thing or another in these things but I love them! good luck and please post what you find.  Jeff.

If one of two little circuit breaker switches has tripped, (and if that breaker protects the front A/C), you have found your problem.
Turning the little switch completely OFF, and then fully ON will, reset it.

On my coach the 12Vwater pump is behind the water valves in the basement wet bay
To access it I remove the carpeted panel to left of the water manifold panel.

BTW, including the year/model of your coach at the end of a post might be helpful, (but it's not mandatory).

I assume you're talking about the two pop-out breakers on the face of your inverter/charger?
One of mine trips whenever I overload the 120V receptacles in my coach.

However my roof A/Cs re not affected by the inverter/charger ...(they both have their own breakers in the 120V electrical panel in the bedroom).

BTW, there's not enough time in a week to post a list of all the things I've found and repaired in/on my coach during the 14 years I've owned/used it.

I am, however I am not sure that you're coach is the same as mine could be though. I have gfi' s on the table area , kitchen sink area and the bathroom. The pop out fuse only blew when I fired up the air conditioner untill I resolved the battery connections and bad wire connection in the thermostat. After that it's all good Jeff.

Mel, ours is a 1999 Safari Sahara, I still have a lot more jerry rigged electrical issues to sort out.  Jeff.

Kevin,I have had both of my roof A/C's stop working several times.  The first time a relay failed in the control box, which is tucked into the ceiling beside the opening to the unit. I was getting no power out of the control unit but was getting it into the unit.  I had to purchase a new control unit to fix it. The control unit came with a thermostat which I did not have to use. The second time my unit failed to start, it was the thermostat which was a quick fix since I had saved the extra one from the previous repair. Dean Shaw,1999 Safari Sahara
