Driving headlights, tail lights and marker lights
Good morning to all the seasoned experts, just got back from TN and during the trip I discovered all my exterior lights are staying on regardless of the switch's position. When I turn the coach off and restart they're off, but come back on after a while without me ever touching the switch. Also, when I cycle the ignition and they go out, the daytime driving lights don't come on.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

First off, the Daytime Headlights (DRLs) should not come on (with headlight switch off) unless you release the Parking Brake.
Excepting that, it sounds like you have a stuck relay or possibly a loose ground.
It is possible the headlight switch is defective.
What has Entegra Service said?

Hadn't asked them yet. This forum is so informative that I usually start here first. Thanks

Wouldn't the issue be with Spartan rather than Entegra?
I'm thinking those lights run through the Spartan Controller.

I have had the rear passenger bay where all the electrical components and fuses are located get very wet before that caused some of my lights to come on and off. Dried everything out, and all is well. Not sure why these components are not better protected from water on the coach in this compartment.

Yes it is quite likely a Spartan issue. However I would start at EC CS to develop a trail for tracking defect history.

Mark, I had a similar experience except it was the engine computer box. After that experience I no longer will drive in a heavy rain. There is just not enough waterproofing on all of the electronics at the rear of the coach that get splashed by two axles spraying water. Nice that you may have found the OP's problem.

I did drive in some rain, didn't think it was that heavy, but who knows... Will check it out this afternoon.
BTW, my 2011 sits on a Freightliner chassis.
Thanks for the info!

Oops, Op doesn't show chassis brand in profile. My mistake should not have assumed it was a Spartan.
This issue may be easier to chase down on a Freightliner than a Spartan.

You don’t need to upgrade your class of membership....you only need to add a signature and that is done on the owners control panel ( shows as “UserCP” ). I’d suggest doing it on a regular computer or a lap top rather than in their app. Everyone has the ability to add a signature regardless of the class of membership. It is really I,portent for everyone to have a signature that gives your manufacturer, model, year, of your major equipment. Without that, responders have no idea if their advise is correct or completely inaccurate.

It was on the cheap Travel Supreme that was only $217,000 but still a Cummins and not heavy rain proof. Looks like I am not the only one with water problem driving in heavy rain. BTW, Cummins said it was not the first time they had seen it on a MH as they took a dryer to the computer. They are the ones that explained the problem to me as I was paying the bill.
I won't even go into the number of posts on wiper arms that have failed in heavy rains on $400,000. MH's. I see nothing wrong with stopping if the rain gets heavy. I won't have to find a Cummins shop or make a post for a water related problem.

I was pressure washing my rear radiator from the engine side and got some water on the engine and tryed to get it to start for 3 days. Eventually it dryed out and started but I thought that electrical connections on a DP would be more watertight! The headlights when driving at night are the worst I have used in 60 years of driving!!!
