Lost the running lights on my Kodiak chassis 32SS Jayco. Replaced the fuse and ran for about 5 miles and then lost the fuse again, but the 2nd time I lost the power to the fuse block? Both sides of the fuse block are dead for just for the running lights. All other electrical items are fine,(head, brake, and turn signals). Anyone ever had any issues like this on the Kodiak chassis? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the "flash" (only flashes clearance lights)switch on the dash? Could be that switch is bad or a loose connection at that point if you have it.

yes I do if you are talking about the switch over on the right side of the dash. still concerned about the loss of power to the fuse on both sides.

Just a guess, the switch may be fused thru the main lighting circuit and then the running lights are seperately fused. You may want to call McCormick Chev in Nappanee IN. since they supplied Jayco with the chassis. They have been very friendly in anwering questions. Just talked to them yesterday about a couple questions that I had.
We all know sometimes there is no Rhyme or Reason to some of the things they do.
Good luck.

OK, I found out why I lost the power to the 20A fuse in the cab. There is a 40A fuse under the hood. It's in a block of big fuses to the left of the other fuse/relay block under the hood. The 2nd time the 20A fuse in the cab did not blow, the 40A did. Anyway, I replaced both the 20 and 40A fuses and the running lights seem to work fine after drivinng around for a while. In fact, I have been driving with a 15A fuse installed instead of a 20A.

Glad to hear that, now I know where to look if I happen to have a problem. I am curious though did you call McCormick?

Well after continued troubleshooting I have found the problem, and no I didn't call McCormick just because I wanted to look over things first.
Turns out the coach is fine. It was the boat trailer causing the problem. One of the wires on the front small marker lights fell out and was touching the frame. Unfortunatly since the 20A fuse didn't go right away, some of the wires on the boat trailer are a little crispy. Nothing I can't fix. Anyway sorry for the false alarm. I'm glad it's not the coach!
