DS Cargo Bay Light Relay
Ok I searched all over this forum and could not come up with this information again...so I am reposting the info.
I just picked up my 2016 preowned Dutch Star 4313, last week, and all was well. After about three days, however, of traveling I noticed that my bay lights would not work. I checked the fuses and everything was good...I checked the switch it was fine. Then I began to contemplate the way in which the lights were meant to turn off when all the bay doors are shut and on again when one door is open. I realized that there must be a relay in the circuit somewhere. I looked through all the paper work I had and then began to hunt in the circuit bays...but I could not find a relay. Finally I came up with a post on a forum about a similar problem someone had where the lights would not turn off and the location of the relay was identified behind the pegboard in the bay door concealing the holding tanks. I removed the pegboard and found the relay had dropped out of it's socket completely and therefore the lights did not work at all. In the other post they had the problem where the lights did not turn off and it happened to be a stuck relay. I wish all the fuses and relays or other likely service parts where identified on a schematic included with every coach. No telling how many hours I have searched for hidden relay's, fuses and such!
After finding the relay laying on the top of the tanks I taped it into the holder!
