Hauled her home will update next time she goes out. ]]> Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:27:33 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16412&PID=155432#155432 Left turn/brake lights : Originally posted by Beckman0208Ok... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16412&PID=155405#155405 Author: jato

Wonderful!  I am still curious as to why it would function until you brought the slide in.  From what you describe, the ground was the issue, the painted frame caused it; by running your slide this would not change so is it possible that the left brake blinker never worked in the first place?

Great work, and thanks for the update!

It's so helpful for fellow Podders when the original poster follows up with what worked (and even what didn't work).

There is no reason the turn signmal light wiring needs to go up into the cabin. I would look below where the wires go out to the fender (and below the slide out).]]> Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:15:37 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16412&PID=155402#155402 Left turn/brake lights : In my 179, the slide wiring is... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16412&PID=155400#155400 Author: Pod People

In my 179, the slide wiring is behind the movable panel under the refrigerator.
From your  description, it does sound like  wires are moving and some are shorting out as the slide moves and pulls wire with it

Good luck
Travel often and safe

Going to check ground again later. Noticed it was not against bare metal. Its up against painted black frame. ]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2026 10:06:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16412&PID=155395#155395 Left turn/brake lights : Personally I have not, however... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16412&PID=155393#155393 Author: jato

Personally I have not, however there are a lot of wires bundled together in the slide area that move back and forth when the slide is activated.  Hopefully you have a voltmeter and can trace the bad wires or physically locate the wire bundle and find which wires have been compromised.  On my 177 the wires are behind a removable panel located under the sink just above the floor and are easily accessible.]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2026 09:18:26 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16412&PID=155393#155393 Left turn/brake lights : I have a 2018 179.

I have a 2018 179. With the slide open i have all running/brake/turn signals on both sides. When i close the slide i am losing brake/ turn signals on left side. Anyone seen this problem? Lights usually go out when slide has about 2 inches left before fully closing. ]]> Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:59:48 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16412&PID=155390#155390
