  1. Just did the test and jump wired the motor. It works good. So my problem is not getting enough power to the motor. Now it seems more complicated. All those wires wrapped up together. I was thinking worse comes to worse I should make a new circuit and supply power to the motor with an on and off key and an in line fuse. How is that? I once did that on an ignition switch. The key didn't work so I used a push button instead.

    Thanks again for the diagram and the test. Now I am not as confused. By the way two years ago I had a shop to put a remote starter on the rig . The remote starter works as before, may be he did some thing wrong that is doing this today and keeps burning fuses. Who knows.

  2. I have the same problem on my 91 warrior, it keeps blowing the fuse. The wiper works very slowly and then it blows the fuse. I disconnected the wires from the wiper motor and tried to see if there is electricity getting to the motor. There was only 8 volts or less in three terminals and the fuse blew while testing. How did you test the motor and found out it was alright? Would you share please.

    thanks.

  3. It might well be the igniter inside the fire box has came lose you should be able to see the spark through the window on the heater. Turn up the thermostat and watch for a spark. Once the sail switch and overheat have been proofed you should hear the gas valve open ( a clunk or click) then the igniter tries to fire the propane If it fails to light the gas valve will close and the entire process has to be repeated.

    Thanks Maineah I noticed that the electric wire to the ignitor was a little loose . I tightened it and works great now. I am glad that you pointed it out to me. I will be back if it stopped working. Otherwise have a great time.

    Thanks a lot.

  4. They are not hard to remove but they are real hard to work on under the cabinets Once it's out it actually can be run on 12 volts and propane if nothing else a good cleaning and new gaskets will go a long way to make it more reliable. While it's apart go through every thing mice do chew on wires bees do get inside and block the air flow with their nests.

    Hi, Maineah,

    Would you please answer the same question that I asked Mr Derek for me?

  5. My guess, based on your description, would be a sticky sail switch. Or a loose connection.

    Hi Derek,

    I can see that it sparks every time without me hitting the box of the heater box. But almost every time when I start the heater I have to hit the side of the box before the spark to get it going. Once it gets worked up it works Ok so my guess is that it is as you said sticky air flow sensor.

    Do you know how to go about cleaning that air flow sensor?

    Thanks a lot.

  6. Some thing interesting happened.While the fan was blowing the air and just before the spark I hit the side of the heater gently out of desperation and all of the sudden the flame came like a magic.:-) Now it is working. Hopefully it won't stall again. I wonder what happened there?

    Thanks guys.

  7. Hi, Gary.

    I have been using the heater for a while. So I suppose the air thing may not be the issue. And I did plug it to sure power and nothing happpened . From what I read in the internet the furnace needs cleaning. I wonder if any one has done any kind of cleaning on these furnaces.

    Good evening.

  8. For the past year I have been draining the water from inside whenever it rained. I've been puting one end of a paper towel in the channel and the other end in a plastic bottle. It collected 12 ounces of water for every 5 to 6 hours of the rain or less. Now that I understand how this water gets there by waiter's drawings and all of these discussions. I have decided to put one more coat of silicon and go from there. It doesn't seem to be a bIg problem any more to me. I gave up the drilling option and collect the water from inside for now and learn more.

    Grateful:-)

  9. Good thinking Linda "the ladders" . I will get some more pictures. And explain the water leak in more detail in a new blog because it might not be necessary to take out the window. It looks sealed up all around very good. Earlier when it was raining I saw that the leak comes up from between the glass and very next rubber gasket from inside and drips very slowly into that channel. So I put silicon all around the outside of the glass as you can see in the picture.Did not stop the Leak.

    Very Grateful.

  10. Hi waiter,
    I am grateful of your information. I have been getting rain coming inside from that channel that you explained . I want to drill the drain holes but I am not very clear. I am attaching a picture of where I understand to drill the hole . The white spot on the picture is where I think that I should drill the drain hole. Do you think that I am okay. It measures 1/4 of an inch from the bottom of the strip. The metal strip is about 1 and a 1/4 inch wide. Thanks again.
