Krackah

Well a friend of mine came over and helped me out. Lights work as they are supposed to now. Had to replace some wires, I am really not sure what all he did but he brought up a wire that was chewed up pretty bad by a mouse or some other kind of vermin. 

You guys are great and I really appreciate all of your help. It was definitely a learning experience for me and I am happy to have had the chance to learn.

Thank you all so much!

Ok, I will double check the grounds for the brakes, they are probably the hardest ones to get to that I have found so far. 

Thanks for your reply

I have a test light and a multimeter. Been trying to get to the brake light switch, but it looks like I am going to have to remove my driver's seat in order to get to it. Otherwise I can't reach it. As far as ground wires go, I have been and still am trying to find them all. It's super difficult to get behind the dash, I know a few are back there. The ones I have been able to find seem to be ok. 

It's getting super frustrating and so I really appreciate all of your input. Finally feeling like there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I have a pull switch on my dash for running lights and headlights and then I have the signal switch on my steering wheel. 

Just checked bulbs and cleaned the connections with a wire brush. Found one bulb that had one melted side so I switched it out and still my brake lights are super dim. 

Something else I noticed today is my battery gauge moves with the blinkers when turned on. And my oil gauge doesn't work at all. The gas and temperature gauges work. The battery gauge works too but just moves with blinkers

I have looked at the bulbs in back but I didn't pay that much attention to the contact points. Just made sure that they weren't broken. When I was working on it yesterday I noticed that the bulbs do light up but they are so did you can barely see them.

What is the multi function switch? 

Thanks for the tips. I will check them out and see if any of them are the problem.

I've been trying to figure out what is going on but only thing I have found is a few wires that looked like they were chewed on by a mouse, I've taped them up already, and a tube that runs wiring from front to back that has been cracked open by heat from my muffler. I haven't looked at the tube that close yet, just found it yesterday. But here is what's going on.

I have found that I have two different combinations of issues that switch back and forth but haven't figured out what makes it switch.

Combo 1

Press brakes and dash lights come on but no brake lights.

Use turn signals dash lights blink with signal

Turn running lights or headlights on and turn signals freeze

Press brakes and turn signals slow down

Only front signals work

Dash lights work

No running lights

Headlights work

Combo 2

Press brakes and dash lights come on no brake lights

Use turn signals and dash lights blink

No rear signals

No dash lights

No running lights

Headlights work

Any advice on what to do or what it might be would be appreciated.

Sorry, I live in California.

So I bought a 1987 31ft Kountry Star motorhome earlier this month at a great deal for $7k. Everything works and has been working fine except for some deisiling that has recently started. Anywho, I was living in hotels prior to the purchase and figured it can't be as expensive as hotels 24/7. So I guess I purchased it at the wrong time with this covid virus going on and most parks are closed,  some too expensive and the rest are just not the best for a single female. So I find myself sitting in parking lot after parking lot,  day after day..wondering where I am going to go for the night and driving around until night fall looking for a spot that seems safe and I won't be told to leave. I have a dog with me and the AC isn't so good from the dash so I try not to drive too much so that I can run the AC on top with the generator. Sigh, not sure what I was getting at with all this except that I am already so tired of this struggle but stuck with it as all my money went into buying the RV. But I figured I should introduce myself to everyone as I just joined the club.

Hi!

Also, I added a few photos of my RV.
