We just arrived at Buckhorn Lake Resort, Kerrville, TX  just off of I-10.  Beautiful place, if anyone is here or coming here in the next 6 weeks please look us up would like to visit.

The backup lights on our 1984 Newell Classic do not work. They are located in the rear bumper. After extensive (for us) sluthing, Laureen and I have concluded that there is some sort of switch or relay located under the gear shift that is not sending the proper signal when we put the gear shift into reverse. I have attached a couple of  pictures (below) of the suspected small cannister device. What is this thing called and where do I buy one? How do I get the old one out?

We came to the conclusion that this small switch is the culprit after doing the following:

1. Removed the lights from the bumper and hooked them up to a 12v source. They worked fine. We reinstalled them after cleaning up the housings and adding ground wires (they were originally self grounding but the housings are 36 years old).

2. We confirmed that we have continuity from that switch over to the front fuse/terminal panel in front of the passenger seat, then back to the panel on the outside rear of the coach and then down to the backup lights reinstalled in the rear bumper.

3. We have 12v on one of the wires on that switch but not the other one (tested with the coach in reverse and the ignition switch in the on position. 

We think that little switch is not closing the circuit to allow current to flow when we turn on the key and put the gear selector into reverse. If that is true, how do I get it out? Where do I find a replacement? What is this thing called?

Thanks for any help.

Sorry for posting the same photo 3 times. Still learning how to do this stuff here.

Planning my trip back from fla. I dont want to drop down on 10 going through N.O. 

Is going over the top better than taking 10?

I have replaced all the original night day blinds in the coach with another brand and style. The removed ones are the pleated style with off white day shades and taupe night shades. 

All but the kitchen window one are in great shape. For some reason it has coffee stains on it. 

I don't know if there is any interest. I will keep them around for a while in case someone needs a spare. 

Free to pickup in Florida or you pay the shipping.

Asking $59,000. Claims 110,000 miles. 8V92.

Has anyone had latches fail on their bay door latches? I have Southco Part: EM-03-43-340. One latch will not lock. I have a replacement kit. There is a bunch of insulation that looks like it will have to be removed in order to diagnose and repair the problem. Has anyone replaced these? 

Also since it is the forward latch that is not locking, do you think it will be problematic to drive the coach?

I have included pictures of the broken latch and parts.

Thanks,

I stumbled across this today. It may be old news to those who have worked on their Howard steering systems. Nice schematic of how it is plumbed.
