Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Made my delivery in Fridley on Saturday morning. Then shot down to Lakeville to preload a trailer for another driver.
Tried to find an empty at Conn Rapids, Fridley and Hopkins... no go... so after hrs had me bobtail down to Gaylord. For the first time in 3 trips down there they had my trailer loaded on time.
So I came back to Coon Rapids. Will head out in the AM on my 3 stopper in NC.... First stop in Johnson City TN, Second stop in Concord NC and it finals in Hickory NC....
Then I head home for a few days...

 

Ok, Apu...what are you trying to tell me? Woke up about 0230 with the a/c not running and a red triangle. Turned it off and back on, ran about 5 minutes and got the yellow triangle. Restarted then it went yellow and red. Just the fan running and seems to be ok so I'm guessing it's a compressor or other prob with the a/c. Hopefully I can deal with it til I get to Winona Wed...or take time somewhere and get to a TK. Also my reading lights in sleeper turn on or off randomly. Has the one on pass side just flash like it was a camera! Been doing that (off when on or the other way around) for awhile. Fun truck! Time to shower and head for Florence SC. Have a good Sunday!

 

In passenger side luggage box open the black box and check the 3rd fuse down a big 20 amp fuse. Check to see if it's blown

 

It's possessed, call a priest...before it's too late...

 

Me? Or the truck...or both?

 

Ok, it was the 20amp fuse in the black box. Now wondering this...for those that have noted the problem, is there a common cause? Yesterday I got the truck washed. Coincidence? Anything out of the ordinary that you have noted before blowing that fuse. Seems to happen quite often.

 

Now bill the company $125 got making the repairs. That's what zthrrmo king charges to change that fuse.

 

Not a coincidence at all, have been told that if they wash the truck and if they spray the condenser fan it causes an electrical charge that will blow that circuit's fuse. I always try and tell the streaking beacon to not spray that fan!

 

The truck....unless you get this sudden urge to spin your head around in circles w/o moving the rest of you.

 

That's exactly what it is @sc00ter As @Xeres63 said… When they spray the fan and it spins backwards it causes an electrical charge to go back to the fuse box and it blows that fuse.
Another common cause of that fuse blowing is a fan going bad. When the bearings start going and the fan meets resistance spinning it will blow that fuse.
