| Ok..brake press light buzzer going off, Heres what I've done in order, Checked the light/hydro max switches out, work and in time, Porportion valve switch replaced, Checked tailights, both 7 inchers were rotton replaced both (clean ground) even though they worked, Switched out the monitor with another. Still same thing. Checked out flow switch, replaced that. Replaced master cylinder...Still same problem. Power steering works fine even with brake applied. I'm out of parts to throw at it. What next? |

You must have the same gnome in your fleet we do :-)
The right (#2) brake light goes out. Ah, it's working now, but air pressure buzzer sounds when the tank is at 120. Then it quits buzzing and the child checkmate arms itself. Seems like 3 unrelated systems, but my hair is getting thinner.

When I figure it out, I'll share :-) |

Try a 1661657c1 relay switch, I didn't see that in your list.
Good luck. |

Ignition switch ON, engine running, warning light ON and buzzer ON, backup pump OFF, immediately after engine start-up.
1. Flow switch circuit stuck open.
1. Check for flow switch continuity and check continuity of all related wires.
-
2. Relay OFF.
2. Check for power to relay. Check for malfunctioning relay. Replace relay if needed.
-
3. Bad ground for backup pump.
3. Test ground from backup pump to battery.
-
4. Monitor module malfunction.
4. Replace monitor module.
-
5. Open winding in backup pump.
5. Replace backup pump.
Ignition switch ON, engine running, warning light ON and buzzer ON, backup pump OFF, 9 to 21 seconds after brakes applied and stays ON.
1. Brake switch malfunction.
1. Replace brake switch.
-
2. Brake pedal not returning.
2. Repair cause of brake pedal not returning.
-
3. Non synchronized switches.
3. Adjust switches.
-
4. Open circuit or blown fuse to one of the two circuits to the brake switch.
4. Repair circuit or replace fuse.

you need to find out whats grounding the relay, try disconnecting the pres switch and the flow switch if it still sounds the module is grounding it. im doing this from memory cause our online schematics dont go back that far. i do have it in print in my tool box im sure. the later ones had that brake switch with the dual system in it. those where commonly the issue.

| We had one driving us nuts also. We added a corner brace to the brake lite switch bracket, it would move enough while going down the road to set off the switches. |

is the pump motor running? when the lights are on. if it is,
unplug the pressure and flow switch do they go off?
if its ot then unplug the module still sounding?
if so check the wire out of c cavity to ground. might be shorted to grd and turning them on |

Brought the bus back in yesterday, Had some time to work on it, some more clues that lead me to think an open winding in the boost motor,
Switch on, depress brake pedal, boost motor comes on, release brake pedal (comes back all the way) motor stays on, heres a kicker turn the switch off and the motor stays running, depress brake pedal again and release the boost motor relay starts to "Chatter" and starts to get hot. Like i've said before I've changed that relay also. Unplug the relay to get the boost motor to shut off. Open winding? about the only thing I have not changed is the boost motor. |

Double check the diodes. The following is out a an old book i have. It kinda fits your last sympton.
The warning light and alarm will activate and latch ON (can only be turned off by cycling key switch off and back on). This check is to detect defective switches and circuitry.
I have used 2 test lites to verify the timing on these.
good luck MM |

| You might check any power/grounds that share this circut. |

| I took the cover off of the junction block (Drivers side) and found a mouse nest in there, Some insulation chewed off but not enough to short out anything. I have narrowed down the circut but I'll be damned if I can find it, I'm sure its behind the dash somewhere. The relay sure gets pretty darned warm after awhile chattering. I'm throwing in the towel and taking it to the dealer Friday. At least I'll have saved them a lot of time. Jesssh this thing has drove me nuts... I'll post what they find. |

Here's the update and repair taken from the invoice the tech printed out. What makes me mad is that I should have pulled more fuses!
"No power at wire #90 U for Ign feed had to take dash apart to trace wireing, no fuse in fuse box for B1, So trace D back found fuse for wire listed under "fuel" (Fuel socket was being used for B1!) Fuse was blown, replaced 20 amp fuse, System working properly".
Took him 3 and a half hrs to trace it.
Had this happen before a long time ago where B1 supply was the reverse lights fuse!!. Like I said wish I would have checked more fueses!!
Did not get to talk to the tech, I dont know why the fuse blowed, I do know the day this happend it was raining and water was seeping in around the cowl so that may have done it. Wet somewhere behind the fuse panel.

| Well...this thing has reared again, Blowed another fuse to start with so I put a 30 amp in from a 25. Lasted awhile then the 30 amp Ing. fuse blowed. Short is somewhere between the systems, Tore the doghouse off, dash out, fuse block out, Switched out the key switch, Attached short finder moved, yanked wires, problem goes away...Then comes back after a week randomly blowing either the B+ feed wire or Ing fuse. driving me nuts, Short finder breaker does not stay on long enough to get a good reading. About ready to put a 4 gauge jumper wire in and stand by with a fire ex. Gonna need therapy before long! lol. Going to tear into it today.. |

| As usuall soon as I start messing with it it goes away, Hydromax motor will run with key off after pressing on brake pedal, Start to pull fuses...all chassis fuses pulled, still runs, Rap on the boost relay and it will quit. Sometimes chatters.. |

Is the buzzer one that also works for the oil pressure/water temp? Try replacing with a known good one. Had them shorting out inside.
Also, all brake lights for proper bulbs. Found wrong bulbs (single in a dual, dual in a single, etc.). |

| Done that too, There is a short somewhere behind the dash, I've had the dash out and with my short finder it goes crazy, but its such a hot short the stupid breaker gets hot real quick and pops out thereby I dont have much "Crazy needle" time. I sidelined the bus and when I get time I'll go back at it again. Dist man has not called me back yet either... |
