There was a tie wrap attached to the hard line of the A/C Compressor and was shorted at that point. Thanks to those of you that helped. It has restored my faith in the RV Forum. Thanks again.

Wow, How did you ever find that?

The owner of Russel's Auto & RV service in Kingman AZ.inserted a tool into the eng1 fuse location the beeped loudly indicating a direct short. He started moving the harnesses back and forth which caused the tool to stop beeping telling him where the fault was located. This is the same repair shop that replaced the fan.shroud and radiator on the way to Hot August Nights in Reno. Needless to say we are very impressed with his work. Jerry

I complained about it when it was new and the dealer checked on it and said the lights would only work in coachs sold in Canada.

He could make mine work with a kit that, I think but not sure, included a relay.

I've never seen a W22 with daylight running lights, that's not to say they don't exsist....just that I've never seen one.

What symptoms do you see when that fuse blows?

The daylight running lights on my 2002 W22 work, and it's never even been to Canada. If I can find the schematic, I'll post it.

Thanks for the offer of help, but I don't need the DRL.

I use my fog lights which turn off when I turn off the engine.

More DRL location followup.............. As I mentioned in an earlier post after receiving the new DRL module we were trying to find the it's location on the coach. After many hours of research I decided to give myself a break and placed the coach in storage.. Yesterday I picked up a part from La Mesa here in Tucson and asked to see their shop manager. I showed him the DRL module I receivied and asked him where it's located on my coach. He took it and brought in his top tech and told me the DRL module wasn't for our rv. He asked what the problem was and told me where the module is located and what I needed to do the fix. Maggie at La Mesa is locating the part I need and I'll let everyone know in a few weeks the results.
