| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving on i-90 in some rainy weather, error code light came on. i stopped checked all fluid levels & continued on. a few hours later the engine began to increase in speed on its own .rpm's were at 2000 & the coach was almost impossible to stop. the chassis connector ( connects coach to engine and electronic control module) filled with water and caused shorts,crosses,and grounds in the wiring and caused the motorhome to increase in speed on its own. the brakes were hot and smoking when we finally got stopped. technician pulled connector apart, used compressed air to remove the water & a contact cleaner to clean the probes & contacts in the connector. connector was plugged back together, all shorts, grounds, and crosses were gone. technician cleared all error codes, put silicone on connector to keep water out until connector can be replaced. upon leaving the shop transmission would not shift up until rpm's were at 2000. it will not shift into 6th unless it is done manually. *nm |
