The parking/running lights are the chassis service & in my estimation are very helpfull.
I'm color blind so it took me a while. Pull out tge generator & in back at the curb side you'll find the air horn the connector is behind it, remove the atrachment screwa & it will come out far enough so you can work on it. A simple 12v probe was what I used but it was what looked like a #10 brown wire. While you are there & if you have time do as someone else on this thread did. Splice all if the wires & throw the connector in your "might need later" box

Scott Wixson, service mgr.
Spartan chassis. Busy guy but got back to me every time. Took me a while to understand not everyone runs on my schedule. With that said this guy is great, started out with my cruise not working & went from there. Will also let you know who to call if you called in error.

2003 American Tradition no running lights

My electrical problems started with the windshield wipers and next was the electric step. Some other intermittent issues that I don’t remember. I found that when wiggling those wires going in those round bulkhead connectors things would start working again. I even tried disassembling them cleaning them and putting them back together but that only works for part of my issue and only for a short time. Majority of the corrosion was where the wire goes into the connector from the front. It’s takes a special tool to disassemble and assemble those connectors which I don’t have.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread. All my issues went away when I bypassed the corroded bulkhead connectors beside the air horn.
Those connectors can be bought but why? you’re not ever going to disassemble the coach. Those are there for ease of assembly. I bypassed them, taped them together tightly and used spray foam to seal the holes.

Believe it or not, every one of those wires is printed with what it goes to. it’s hard to read but it’s on there. I was really surprised to see that.
