Electrical Nightmare
Howdy Ya'll
This is a unique posting, I'm mod'in my 1995 Coachmen Santara (35' Motorhome). The chassis is a e450 superduty. The previous owner "Mickey Mouse"'d the wiring behind the dash and has caused me all kinds of grief.
I've been having an electrical nightmare and it's time to gut it and do it right. So here's the deal, I've blown 2 alternators, a starter and replaced all the batteries in this beast. Now I'm blowing fuses more often than not. After searching this beast from front to end, I've found the fuse boxes for the 12v systems and started tracing the wiring. The previous owner had no idea how to ground, so I have a grounding bar that I'm installing. During this nightmare I've been snipping and snipping the wires and eliminating the "Mickey Mouse" and re-grounding everything to the grounding bar (like it should have been done in the first place). I've disconnected all non-essential items on the 12v in an effort to figure out the root of the problem. I need a pointer to a wiring diagram, anyone have one?
Thanks in Advance,
Eric

"I need a pointer to a wiring diagram, anyone have one?"
Eric, did anyone respond to your request for a wiring diagram and did you get your problem fix. If so, would you mind sharing with the forum to create a record for future readers with similar issues, like myself.
Thanks in advance for your response.
