Forum: Replacement part information
- Replies (4)

These are the common light switches in my coach.  They are black, on/off and do not illuminate.  They are Carling Technology switches.  Part #RA901-RB-B-0-N.

I would guess that these same switches were used in coaches from 1997 into the early 2000s.

I ordered them from Mouser Electronics.  I received them in just over 24 hrs.  Great service!  Mouser part #691-RA901RBB0N

The new one is on the bottom:

If you use gmail as your email address this is an interesting trick to help keep spammers from harvesting your email address.  What the article says is that gmail ignores any . in your address and also ignores anything after + if you add either to your address.  So if your address is [email protected] and you need to sign up somewhere you don't want to get emails from just add an extra . or two.  Then if the spammer doesn't use gmail servers that email address should not work for them.

Had the valance lights on.  Went to shut them off at the end of the night.  The switch would not go to the off position and had obviously gone bad. 

The switch is at the entry door on a panel with several other light switches and the master light switch.  I removed the six screws holding the panel & pulled it back.  There were two wires going to the valance switch.  The blue wire was connected and appeared normal.  The white wire was burnt back about 3 inches.  Both wires were so hot you couldn't touch them.  Using pliers I tried to remove the white wire from the switch and the entire terminal pulled out of the back of a melted switch.  The plastic that divides the two wires was totally melted and gone.

i took the newell to wickenburg yesterday for the local fine arts center to use as a office for the annual circus they are putting on.  

my daughter works there and will be staying in it over the weekend.  

it got down to 28 degrees last nite.  

she calls this morning and says the heater in the front area is blowing cold air but all the others (on other thermostats) are blowing warm air.  

so i call our aquahot master rudy.   he asked.....is the fan running....answer yes.   

it is about 25 miles to where the newell is.  rudy says to take a hammer and whack the check valve above the front pump in the aquahot bay.  

i took a hammer, a relay and off i went

got there.....felt the hose above the front pump and it was not warm.  whacked the check valve with a hammer a few times and walla....hot water flowing now.  

rudy....you are the man.....thank you

tom

Has anyone had a air leak over the pocket door that is between kitchen area and bathroom?  I am able to see that it has a cylinder that opens and closes the door but now I am trying to figure out how in the world do you get to it!  I hate leaks!

Thanks
Pam

Hello all,

Has anyone had any issues with a air leak around your brake pedal inside of the coach?  My guess is we are going to have to pull the entire dash and everything on the driver's side to be able to get down to this.  Anyone had to tackle this?  Any pointers?  Richard?  LOL

Thanks
Pam
