03 American Tradition buzzer won’t quit
Greetings!
I have a 2003 American Tradition and the buzzer/alarm under the dash will not shut off when I start the motorhome. Air pressure is ok. E Brake is released, landing gear is up, slides are in. I don’t know what else could be triggering this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Trent

My Freightliner chassis had a defective sensor on the park brake , and the warning buzzer would stay on when the brake was released..

The set up uses two sensors , one for the park brake light and another for the buzzer.

What chassis is your coach built on ?

This coach is built on a Spartan Mountain Master chassis.

Are you seeing anything on your odometer? On my tradition if its engine related it will display on the odometer.

Your low air sensor/switch has failed. Call Spartan with your VIN and they will tell you where American specified the location. Mine was on the firewall if memory serves.

If you have a wiring diagram it should show what other things might be connected to the alarm.

I agree a wiring diagram would be awesome. Any idea or where I could locate/buy one?

Thank you. Is this usually a “generic” type sensor that a truck part supply shop would carry?

It could be the OTA warning senor that the antenna is Not laying all the in the "Travel" position...it's happened to me!

I bought mine from spartan for my 08 last year. You will need your VIN or build #---- You can also get just a specific diagram by asking.
