ELECTRICAL FEATURES
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Figure 9-8: Circuit Breakers
The circuit breakers (Figure 9- ) are located in the external
storage compartment just forward of the entrance door.
When the circuit breakers are shut down or electrically
tripped, they must be manually reset. These breakers protect
the slide-outs, the AC ignition, the electric step, the 30-amp
ignition system, and the 12 VDC disconnect system. As
needed, manually reset the circuit breaker or breakers as
shown in the accompanying figure.
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 hazardous and harmful
.
FUSE BREAKERS
Some of the electrical circuitry within the motorhome is protected by various fusing systems.
These are located in the bedroom.
The electrical circuits protected by the under-dash fuse block include: headlights, panel light for
dashboard, tail lights, optional jacks, turn signals, cruise control, engine computer, accessory
fuses, heater and dash air conditioning. Additionally, there is another chassis fuse panel which
works in conjunction with the chassis fuse panel and provides comparable protection for the
above-listed circuits.
Located beneath the access panel on the dashboard are two additional fuse panels; these panels
protect the following electrical systems: mirrors, optional satellite jacks, camera, optional power
windows, dash trim, lighter, map light, optional power seats, and radio.
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.
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.
SEVEN-PIN TOWING CONNECTOR
Your Wayfarer is equipped with a standard, 7-pin connector near the towing hitch at the rear of the
motorhome to supply the necessary circuitry to control a towed vehicle.
