I am looking for the reason I lost all power to bathroom. Here is all the fixtures (3 lights) and bath fan tied together.. | This is the single power wire coming out of the wall above the bathroom window that was powering ALL the bathroom. Its sandwiched between the aluminum skin ceiling, and the spray foam wall. | Fried wire | (1 Comments) This is looking above the fridge. The two wires (white and black) come out of the exterior wall then up and over the shower, and they have 12v power. Looking at the FMC schematics, I believe these wires were here to power the bath fan, but were not used on coach 850?? They dive into a sea of foam above the shower as far as I can tell. They could possibly be here for a powered hall fan (which I don't have)? I abandoned anything to do with these wires for now. |
I was able to slide a piece of wire loom over the old wire, I stuffed it back as far as I could. After digging deeper into the old wiring, I found that this "burnt" wire was an old issue, someone electrical taped the wire near the light connections, AND the factory neutral/ground wire was no where to be found except for the melted white wire casing on the black + wire. | I tied a weight to my new bathroom fixture power source wire and dropped it down in between the shower stall and the thermostat wall and recovered it at the plumbing access door near the floor. | When I installed my new AC/DC converter, I removed the wiring for the heated grey and black tanks at the converter. I would never use that option and it was a mess of electrical. I did leave the power wires that ran back and forth in the coach in. I'm glad because it was really easy to create a new 20 amp circuit for my new fuse panel under the fridge. This panel will power the bathroom, two water pump switches, and the hot water heater. This terrible pic only shows the new bathroom + supply | This is my new strategically placed water pump switch inside the bathroom! Due to the plumbing vent running up the backside of the wall in this location, I had to bend the electrical a little. I have an old street sign which I used for the fascia plate. I polished it up, but now I have to polish the other fascia's so they can compete... |
(3 Comments) I had to take a shim and place it behind the plumbing vent in order to hold it out from the wall a 1/4" or so to relieve the pressure it was placing on both the light and new water pump switch electrical. | (1 Comments) This is how it looks, I used an illuminated switch. | (1 Comments) Here is my new water pump and hot water heater switch | I'm going to run some wire loom over the wires to help protect them. |
