Driver steer blow out.
#17

I had a similar blowout/hwh brain issue where I ended up hot wiring the travel solenoid to get back on the road home.

Since I am not an electronics guy, when I looked at the brain box I was certian it was destroyed. I had some other damage from the blowout and decided to let newell take care of it with insurance help.

When the box was sent to hwh, they said all boards were fine and bolted it all back for newell to install. So everything but assembly may be fine even though il looks like a pile of boards sitting on the bottom of box. During checkout all worked as expected. However as I left the facility about 20 miles away, the coach started leaning.

I headed back to newell and the lean got worse, but I made it. They checked everything out and a fuse was blown. Replaced the fuse, and I was off. Funny thing was, when hwh rebuilt the brain, they likely used different/ additional spacers for the boards and move the board closer to the aluminum cover. If you didnt guess, I could see where the cover shorted out on one of the boards.

I made more clearance, and added tape to the cover inside, and it has been smooth sailing since.
