Welcome aboard, pal.
This is an RV, right? What sorts of problems are you having? Having to do with the Ford engine/chassis or internal living room wiring?
We will help as we can but we need more description.

Really? We have to ask? We're not clairvoyant...

Identify the systems.
Perform basic troubleshooting.

A simple 12volt test light can make it ez fast for testing of what ever if it's getting power. Buy one if you can't make one up. Get a volt meter for a better idea of what the voltage is.

Condor: Class A motorhome with its body installed on a P350 or P500 (P Series Parcel Delivery) rolling chassis.

Posting the VIN will determine which rolling chassis it is.

I still don't understand the issue.

And why do we have to play 20 questions to extract pertinent information?

If you need assistance, your participation is required in being descriptive in your posts.. these 10 to 13-word sentences are not helping us to understand the problem.

HELP US TO HELP YOU.

You don't have to play 20 questions. Just answer his question like I did.

Yes.

Now he has to take the next step.

Exactly as qman said.
The guy has a problem. He was not born with the knowledge that we were and he needs help. He does not need wisecracks and snides.
Let us try to help him.

Different approaches..... I don't pander.. rather, clearly state the expectations in posting to provide info rather than playing a game which, to me, is a total waste of time.

I agree with HIO (mark this day down on a calendar! ), because it's the same old story.

Some members ask questions without giving a single shred of evidence of what the hell they are working on. Or they don't give enough evidence.

Some ask questions, then don't reappear for days or weeks to respond to answers to their questions.

The OP has typed 3 posts inre to the electrical problem. Post 4: Yah it's an rv it's the internal living problems. What in the world does this refer to?

Post 5: Says he doesn't have an owners Manuel (sic), then adds could it be the switch up front (sic). What switch "up front" is this and where is it located?

(sigh) You can lead a mule to water, but you can't make it drink.

That's why I said to answer his question.

The answer is "Yes, it could be the switch up front."

Done. Now it's up to him to ask question #2.
