Just purchased my first GMC motorhome today! not going well so far. Got 250 miles down the road and it died. Here are the details.
It was running great, just cruise controlling it at 62mph. Everything working just fine. Noticed that I had a tilt wheel, so I adjusted it up. Lost power to my cruise control, turnsignals radio airbags and horn, but still driving. Getting dark so I turned on the lights. It killed power to the motor instantly. Turned lights off, engine turned back on with a huge backfire (blew the end of my tailpipe off). Still driving though so I kept going about 10 more miles. Then it just died, no ignition, nothing. getting it towed to my house tonight, but don't have a clue what to do next. Problem with the ignition switch? fwi.. It has a new Alternator. Car behind me said my brake lights went dim. Again, all was working great and I was happy with my purchase. now im stranded, can any body help figure this out? first time gmcer, first time forum poster (and reader) Thanks, Larry 734-834-5664 or larry@norockchips.com or i think i can read info right here. Sad
