I parked my Fleetwood American Eagle. When i went to start it the next morning the shift indicator light was blank and it would not start. Can anyone shed some light on what this could be? My don't shift light would come on while driving kick off my cruise but would go right off. My leveler light would flash and beep and go off in a few seconds. I tried to see if the was a fuse that was blown but read is direct wired.i was talking to a mechanic who thinks the controller got wet and shorted it out. Mine is a shift lever not a touch pad.

Find the " wired direct " wire on, or near, the chassis battery.

There will be a fuse, near the battery, bundled in the harness for that wire.

Read many reports of corrosion in that fuse connection causing your problem.

Ok im not sure what the wired direct site is. Is it marked "weird direct"?

It would be a wire comming off the chassis battery positive terminal. Not a big cable but a kind of heavy wire.

I have checked along the wire and found no fuse.

I finally got a mobile mechanic to come look at it and it was the plug on top of the transmission had come loose. He reseated it and it lit up. But when i went to move it it was off. He is coming back to makes sure it's clean and in tight.

I don't know it came on then went off then came on and off. Got it started but can't move it. I can't find a fuse inline. The direct wired doesn't have any place where i see it bulged from a fuse then being wrapped. I have followed the direct wired to the other side of the coach and it has power. My do not shift light is on but my levelers are all up. I noticed when it came on my cruise control would kick off.
