    I had an odd problem with my A/C a few years back. Had an A/C shop measure the pressure in the lines and it was too high. So they drained the system and refilled it with the proper amount. A few weeks later, the same thing happened AGAIN. Almost had to wonder if the refrigerant was somehow spontaneously generating more of itself! :biggrin_2554:

    I have a 99 pete 379... My issue is that the bunk fan won't kick on.. I replaced the motor and nothing.. I have power at the connection, but once I plug it together the ground wire gets power...? Any ideas? Not to fun jumping into a cold bed.... :biggrin_2556:

    Sounds like a short-circuit somewhere.

    When it was working, the fan seemed to only work on low... Someone told me there is a resistor for the speed switch... I just dont know where it is.. Could that be my issue?

    What kind of material did you use to cover the hoses?
