Looking for wiring diagram for '96 Sun Voyager

[mrhockey]

It seems like these things are hard to find and the search button on here didn't provide me with anyone else looking or who has found one but does anyone have a copy? Thanks in advance.

I think the general consensus is, it's difficult to get a wiring diagram for an RV that is only a couple of years old. I don't think you are going to find a diagram for anything as old as your coach. Is there a specific problem you are trying to diagnose?

I am trying to diagnose the low voltage lights that are in the aluminum stair nose. I am trying to figure out if there is a transformer or something for them and how the power runs from the switch. That is my little issue right now. Nothing major I am just someone who likes everything to work.

I know what you mean about wanting everything to operate properly. If I can't fix it, I'll replace it with something that works better than the original.
Your Sun Voyager is a step up from my Sun Sport. I only have a basis Kwikee step with one 12v light, sorry not much help for your concern.
Owning these older models involve allot of detective work to figure things out.
Maybe someone with a similar model will post a clue for you.
Good luck

John

Thanks John. I am guessing I might have the same Kwikee step as you and I am actually replacing the control box for that too soon, but the problem I am having is with some lights on the inside step treads. The aluminum nose on the steps has like a 1/4"x1/4" groove in it that has low voltage lights inside them in a clear acrylic square tube. When I throw the switch on the wall one of the wires goes hot but the other does not. The lights are on 2 strands of bare copper wire and the lights have a lead that goes to each strand. Now the strands and everything in there touches each other so it's strange stuff doesn't short out. When I pulled one of them out there were just 2 wires on each strip of lights but my buddy took one to his shop. He called me today to tell me that there was a very small thin 3rd strand of wire that is a ground. He had the lights lit while powering both copper strands and then grounding the 3rd wire. I don't know where that came from because I didn't see it or disconnect it when I took it off. So if both copper wires are hot to make them light I need to find out what makes the 2nd wire hot, because remember when I hit the switch only one of them was hot. Follow me so far? Also he said it worked on 12v but when he regulated it down to 9v it was much better. I have to get back up to the rv to do some more searching around but it's getting cold up here.

Im sorry to say it's strange problems like yours I'm glad I don't have to deal with. My Sun Sport is very low tech. Only one 12 volt bayonet style light and switch for the stairs.
I read quite a few posts about high line coaches with electrical concerns. Seems like they all have different unrelated items they are having problems with.
Good luck with the troubleshooting!

Edit; perhaps the ground wire your friend found was broken off the coach?
