I installed a new hi torque starter. The new starter was shorter than
the old one. I had to stretch the wires to reach it. All looked good
from the bottom and worked fine. But when I lowered the coach, I guess
the wire was rubbing on the axle. It did not take long to rub through
and cause a short. The short left me stranded in the middle of traffic
at a light. I had to be towed for the first time in 15 years of
ownership. I got under it and found the wire broke. I replaced the
wire with a longer one, but it had taken out the alternator. It was a
life time alternator and I replaced it free of charge. Now the problem
is; My tail lights and back up lights are on when ever the key is in
the on position. I have a short between these wires. It must be in the
steering column or a wire loom someplace. Maybe Chuck Boyd can tell me
where to look.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
