found in the owner’s information package.
Resettable Circuit Breakers
The resettable circuit breakers (Figure 7-19) are located within 18 inches of the source of power; that is, the
converter and the battery. When the circuit breakers are shut down or electrically
tripped, they must be manually reset. To find the circuit breakers, follow the line
from the battery or converter approximately 18 inches—this may lead to a
junction box or to a cabinet inside the Allegro Bus or to a similar location.
As needed, manually reset the circuit breaker or breakers as shown in the
accompanying picture. Be careful when working around these connections as an
accidental, electrical short to ground (i.e., momentarily connecting the “positive”
or “hot” terminal to any part of the chassis) can be potentially hazardous and
harmful.
Towards this end, don’t store in this particular storage compartment anything which may move around in
transit and subsequently cause any electrical short circuits or anything that is flammable.
Fuse Blocks
Some of the electrical circuitry within the motor home is protected by various fusing systems. Some of these
fuse blocks are accessible in the front outside compartment. Underneath the dashboard is an enclosure which
contains fuse blocks. These fuse blocks protect some of the major electrical systems of immediate concern to
the driver such as the power seats (driver’s and passenger’s), spot light, mirrors, camera, radio, and various extra
fused positions.
Should there be any electrical failure of these components or systems, the first troubleshooting procedure
should be to check the fuses and have available replacements to replace any blown fuses, as may be warranted.
Also the Allegro Bus contains a computerized diagnostic center, located beneath the access panel which is
under the dash attached to the steering column, for the engine of the motor home. This center permits a
computer to be connected to the onboard diagnostic center monitoring many of the operating functions and
parameters of the engine so that the current operating status of the engine can be determined and any
anomalies or problems may be noted.
This diagnostic tool enables the motor home owner to maintain an updated status of the engine so that the
overall reliability of the motor home can be maintained.
As an aid to extracting and/or installing fuses in the fuse blocks, one may wish to buy an inexpensive fuse
puller at any electronics or hardware store. This tool makes the installation or removal of fuses much easier and
prevents inadvertent damage to nearby fuses or the fuse block itself.
