Rocinante Sunrader 88 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Looking behind the kick plate to the left of the clutch pedal in my new 88 Sunrader I found a small (6"x6"x1") black box labelled "electronic servo." It has a light labelled "ignition light" that comes on when the key is on, another labelled "motor light" that presumably comes on when the motor is on, and a hole with an adjusting screw in it labelled "increase) and another labelled "centering." It is connected to a plug that has about 16-28 wires in it. and it has a "not user servicable" label on it with a date that seems to be consistent with the manufacturing date of the RV (although it could be that of the chassis, as they are both 1988.) Anyone have any idea what this is? It seems way too sophisticated to be related to my airbag system and I cannot imagine what else it might be. I would assume that the circuitry for connecting and isolating the batteries is contained in the electrical center back in the coach and in the battery compartment under the hood. If it was a chassis part I would not expect it to be so clearly american made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Add-on alarm system? Aftermarket cruise control? Just guesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocinante Sunrader 88 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Could be cruise control. I've seen no other evidence of an alarm. Perhaps a transmission control device? It has no mechanical connections, only electrical ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gulfstream Greg Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Trace some of the wires and see where they go and how they are connected.If its cruise control some wires will go up to a vacuum module under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Yep sounds like a electronic cruse control there were some made that used a motor instead of vacuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocinante Sunrader 88 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 You guys were right. It is the cruise control, as there is another box marked "electronic servo" under the hood connected to the throttle with a cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I suppose this might be a good time for me to go and pick some Lottery numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
