Mike,

I have a few wiring diagrams for my '91 34' Regency but I can't post .bmp files here. Talk to Dave (The Barthman) maybe his "guru" can find a way.

Cheers,

There's probably more than one fuse box. You may have to become a gymnast to find it but there may be a fuse box under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. If you have a mat down there you may have a hard time seeing it and you will definately need a flashlight. That is where my flasher fuse/airhorn/step-light and abunch of other important things are..

Mike,
Don't know if you found your problem already, but I had the same thing (intermittently) and it was soooo simple (after the fact, of course)...I hate to tell you how long it took to find the problem. Turned out that the problem was caused by my tilting the wheel to make room for my larger-than-it-should-be gut. The steering column cover was slightly loose...in the right place but not locked together. So, they would rub on the emergency flasher switch pulling it out just enough to disconnect the turn signal circuitry but not enough to turn on the flashers. Of course, when I would stop to try and "catch it" failing, I'd tilt the wheel the other way so I could get out and the switch would be pushed in by the collar rubbing it again and the problem would disappear. I removed the cover and enlarged the hole for the flasher switch a bit to prevent future rubbing if the cover ever came loose again and replaced it and made sure the two sections locked together. Voila! Even though I have gained even more weight, nary a problem. Hope this helps!

Hank and others,
thanks for your responses. Yes i found the problem or i should say a rv repair service found it for a small (not) fee. turned out to be the signal switch itself which isn't real expensive but replacing it can be. lots of labor tearing out steering wheel and replacing. Oh well it works now. YEA!

Now for the new problem!!!! my wife (really) turned on our trace 2000 while pluged in to shore power and it blew what i call the transfer switch. switches from genset to shore power. now i can't find a replacement. any help out there for this problem? please!
it's an older one and i'm sure trace is shot but i would at least like to be able to use the genset and can't now. shore power only IF i mess with the switch. thanks

FYI-i found the transfer switch. it is called a double throw switch. mine is a c-42-a212-600-e available from american solenoid co inc. in somerset,n.j. brand is kraus&naimer. this is the only place in the u.s. that i could find the replacement. $232.20 plus shipping. now i just have to put it on. @^$%%#*&^!
