If it were a horse we could shoot it.
Howdy,
I have a "new to me" 2006 RV on a 2005 E 450 Chassis. Today I started it up and immediately lost these things: Wipers, AC Blower, Blinkers, Power Mirrors and the ABS light stayed on. I drove it home and figured a blown fuse...
And then the next time I started it up everything was back.
Does this sound like any particular relay/circuit/diode or thingamajig that anyone (with lots more brains than me) would say "Oh, that's the xyz!!"?
Thanks,
Bob

looks like you found the reason it was for sale.
Most likely a bad ground

What Frank said. Bad and poor grounds cause the strangest stuff to happen.

So what's going on in there?
Thanks all!

I had the same type issues with my 1994 that turned out to be corrosion in the ignition solenoid, main contacts. I know the contacts were corroded because I cut the solenoid open. The solenoid was located in the BCC. Good Luck

BTW...
Put your MH information into your signature
I know you mentioned your MH in your post, but take a couple of minutes to fill out your signature with other information about your MH. This will really help for all future posts.
You do this by:
1) Going to the top of this page and click the top left tab named “User CP”
2) Scroll down and click “Settings & Options”
3) Click “Edit Signature”
4) In that text box type all the information about your MH. Year, model, length, mileage, any aftermarket extras installed and so on.

FYI, you can still shoot it. It'd just won't have the same effect.

Thanks Ken! Intermittent electrical problems are only one of the many reasons I am not a rocket scientist! (I just hope they go away.. which it has thus far for a couple of days, but these suggestions will give me a real leg up when they return.)
