I have a 2005 American Eagle and was wondering if anyone out there had the pleasure of removing this type of smart wheel

Our RV is a 2005 and this PDF is from 2001. We found correct one by going to Douglasautotech.com and choosing departments from selections on main page, then drop down list choose service parts. Our part is a 1900043 so chose that from extensive list of PDF files. It has a revision date of 6/12/18 as the clock spring has been updated to a new one. Hope this helps you.

Thank you so much. We found the newer revision of that PDF on Douglasautotech.com as they have changed the clock spring to a new one. We ordered parts after checking fuses and speaking with Spartan, who advised it was probably the decoder and or steering clock. Unfortunately it did not fix our problem. We have no tail lights or marker lights (stage 2 of 3 settings switch, 1 being off), we do have brake, turn signal and headlights (stage 3 of 3 setting switch). Next check will be that switch but unfortunately in trying to remove plug from back of switch, plug came apart, spring went flying and other metal part came out, appears now need a new switch. Starting to become stressed.

There are no repair shops within driving distance to take to have a tech look at, other repairs we have had done were not good. Mostly travel trailers where we live so an A Class motorhome is not something they are familiar with.
