most likely an issue with one of the set screws that had not been secured properly during manufacture. I have contacted jayco for reimbursement as of today. My concern is that this fire would have obviously occurred while the unit was occupied. I feel that I am fortunate that a more serious event had not occurred and that the remainder of the rv is still intact. I can provide photos and the physical unit if required. *Tr

again the warning light all came on. Prepared to go on a trip went out to start the camper no warning lights. Drove from ashland to dodge city alternator was not charging the battery but with the coach generator on the battery was charged at about 12.7 Volts. Just outside of dodge city the lights came on and remained on for the rest of the trip to garden and the burtus ford dealer who ran tests and found nothing wrong changed a fuse under the dash. Returned to ashland with no problem return. The problem was not fixed. The warning lights would go off and on for no apparent reason. Sometimes they would stay on for the whole trip, other times they would go out and stay out. Jayco would not make any effort to find the problem saying it was fords problem and ford dealers in the area could not seem to find out what was happening. I have tried to trace the problem but to know avail. It would seem that an instrument panel microprocessor is some how involved. I have traced it to a possible fuse diode but cannot find a replacement part for it. The only way I can go on a trip is to use my gsr a speedometer and run the coach generator to keep the battery charged. So far the headlights and turn signals continue to work but the headlights blink of for a few moments and make it very difficult to drive at night. There have been some recalls on the workhorse chassis involving faulty microprocessors and I wonder if I have missed a recall somewhere. *Tr
