2015 FORCE exterior lighting

AndrewC · 07-06-2015, 10:47 AM

Anyone had an issue with towing a trailer and having hte running light go out after a minute or two? Trailer is new and works fine on our other vehicle.

Seems like a breaker? The books do not offer a good wiring diagram to help in finding the fix..

Thanks in advance

We also added a prodigy controller but our bravo trailer has incondecnt bulbs so i am leaning towards a breaker being too small for the added amps. Just cant locate the exterior lights breakers

I would check the fuse panel on the drivers side where the inverter is. Most of the exterior fuses I needed was in there.

Hi trailer running lights are powered by the tow vehicle. The first vehicle may have a problem with the 8 pin plug to the TT form the TV. Big problem in northern states with the connections becoming corroded.

Hope this helps Tim

Might be the hitch wiring on TV. Our fords both have separate circuits for the lights on tt

Tom48 · 07-08-2015, 10:48 PM

But if not factory wired that installer may have screwed up

So we opened the exterior bay on the drivers side, and pulled each fuse one at a time, none are used for the exterior running lights. Think they are powered via the freightliner under hood fuses? Anyone have a diagram?

halla · 07-13-2015, 09:08 PM

There are two fuse boxes under the hood, both of them had descriptions in the lids.
I do not have a wiring diagram. I have been trying to get someone at Dynamax to help me with how to wire an electric water hose reel in the black tank compartment, no reply yet. going to have to figure it out on my own.

Not getting any love via Forest River either for wiring. I would think they would have an assembly schematic for when they add the coach to the chassis.

Contacted Freightliner with same result.
Seems our 2015 Force has many issues with assembly Quality. Shower leaks, grey water tank inlet leaks, sinks leak, both roof top AC units leak when raining,floor has foreign matter underneth, window switches failing, dash speaker not wired, blinds dropping out of valances.. The list is growing..

@ 2000 miles
Sad.

We haven't had any of those issues "knock on wood" other than one set of blinds fell out. We are having one window replaced, the glass was warped and doesn't seal. We also have to have the cable wiring looked at. The three tvs now work on antenna (fixed by General RV) but the park cable doesnt work anywhere.

Good luck with your problems, hope they resolve them soon.

Got a bad feeling.. Seems like what can go wrong, will.. Good luck with yours as well.

AndrewC · 07-27-2015, 04:08 PM

Forgot to add the exterior TV is not working, white Vert line and 1/2 pic.. cable is also not the best, but maybe it was the parks wiring..

Seems like our ford F-250 has a separate circuit for the Toed vehicle so that it is not just piling on more demand to our truck light circuits. Not sure as I have had little or no problems in that area (YET) but seems like they are relays and circuit breakers and not Fuses on some if not all of that. If your plug receptacle is not wired in to the truck correctly that problem is not going to get better until you uncover the underlying problem with wiring.
