What… is the electrical issue ????

So the 100 amp body solenoid was clicking on and off and turning off the headlights and running lights .
I replaced the solenoid 2 months ago and it fixed the problem until last nite while I was driving!!

First thing you need to do is go to the BB site and see if you can download the wiring diagram.

Unless the mechanic you find already knows about busses, your gonna waste some money on some uneducated troubleshooting.

With the diagram you might be able to find the correct grounding point for the solenoid and also identify your headlight circuitry.

All these busses sufffer from dirty/loose connections…

Ok will see what I can find. Stay tuned.

Ok I have the diagrams . Will look them over they are stamped with the word “ obsolete “ on the pages…

I traced a ground connection under the front of the bus. It was super dirty and greasy. Cleaned it up and re attached.
Problem solved!! Thanks EWO !

I don't know what kind of engine you have, but I have a blue bird cummins, and there is a Cummins sales and service in south east Tucson. similarly, I found it by looking on the BB website for certified service places, so even if your not Cummins, I would imagine that Thomas or international would have to have something similar on their websites. hope this helps!

*if you ever have another problem, the rest of the thread didn't load for me lol
