I've just purchased a 92 Barth Regency and am heading back to Canada. I'm stranded. While testing the brakes, I pushed the park brake button to release the air to check the slack adjusters. However I did this after turning off the ignition.

Now when I turn on the ignition, I hear an audible alarm, and only the volt meter and air pressure gauges work. The engine starts just fine with the rear start, but the dash electrical is disabled. The gear select is also blank.

Please help anyone!!

Sorry to hear about trouble on your maiden voyage. Here's a post about the remote start switch and breakers that may be similar while we wait for the experts:

There's another post I remember about allowing the brakes to pump up enough to move the shifter, in case it is not in Park and locking you out.

Hi Loubar,

What is the air pressure reading in your air brake tanks? Are the tanks back up to full operating pressure?

On Tonka the audible alarm sounds when the air drops below the safe operating pressure and goes off when it builds back to the set safe operating pressure.

Have you tried pulling the air parking brake button out to engage the spring brake and restarting to see if it'd re-pressurize the tanks.

Thanks,
Wally

Thankfully it was just a low coolant level. I had a couple of hoses replaced and the coolant was refilled to the sight glass, however, the engine has air pockets, enough to cause the low coolant sensor to shut down the engine. Six quarts of coolant later, all is well.

what part of Canada??
