cruise control quit working. Windshield wipers won't turn off. Now cruise works, but wipers won't turn off. Any experience with this issue out there???

While pulling in the slides this morning to get ready to depart Livingston, TX and unknown to me that there was smoke coming up from behind me, I mentioned to James "what's that smell?" He looked towards me, then got a frantic look on his face and started running towards me and quickly determined that it was coming from a battery charger he kept stored between the seat and window (against my repeated wishes). Evidently it made contact with something around the seat area and eventually would have caught fire. It was a little testy between us for a few moments - female wanting to know EXACTLY what caused the smoke NOW / male feeling pressured to provide accurate answers NOW. All is well now, James put the charger in the jeep. Mmmm, I hope it doesn't make a connection there. James assured me that it's okay. Mmmm, I have my doubts - a girl thing. The charger has bee stored between the driver seat and the window for several months with no issue. It seems like there should be some sort of safety measure. Okay - Florida bound - tonight dinner east of Lafayette, LA with friends. I hope to get in some driving time on the way to Florida. Carol

When my coach comes out of storage next spring I will need to replace my batteries. I think this will be a good time to clean those bays up as they look to have 29 years of dust, dirt and corrosion in them. I assume I will need to scrap and sand them down as well as treat the inside of them to prevent any further corrosion.

Has anyone done this before that could share their suggestions for what to look for and how best to go about this chore?

Been out with friends most of the day and this afternoon when I got back to the park, in came a Newell and parked across from us. It was John and Linda Zimmerman from Canyon Lake, TX in a 91 they bought about 3 weeks ago. Said they had joined the Gurus. I am going to check on Vickie and Morris Weinstein tomorrow, but is my understanding they are here also. I think it takes at least 5 to have a mini rally, so feel free if close by to come and join the fun. Park serves $1.00 Margaritas on Fri. starting at 4:00. Chappell

Here's your chance!
And you'd be down the road from a couple of Newell Gurus!

Well I was still having an intermittent problem with the front heater not coming on every time. When I would touch the relay on the aquahot it would start. So after reading Steve Magown's post where he had a bad relay socket I looked at mine and it looked discolored so I went ahead and changed all 3. Easy to change out, just pull the release and they pop off the DIN rail. Then snap on the new sockets and wire it up.
But it still didn't work! So stuck my head back in the compartment, wiggled the relay and it started up. Finally figured out that one of the wires from the mini-relay 30amp (small black cube on the side near the terminal block) was loose. Pulled it off and tightened the connector. Now it works every time!

Been looking for a fan blade holder about six months. Talked to tech dept today and found out you can convert it to a four blade fan instead of five blades if its 2003 or earlier. Under the fan if it has 14 holes you can start a blade on the orange spot and skip a hole all the way around. This is for craft made fans. Works great
