Engine Bay Starter Control Switch
When the engine bay ignition switch is used is it normal to get a do
not shift light on the tranny shift pad? Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 Niceville, FL |

Leroy,
Good question. I looked in our Blue Box and nothing mentioned. Seems like a good safety thing...I don't want the Bird in gear when I'm standing behind it. I'll try and remember tomorrow to do an engine bay start and check the shifter console.

Curt,
I think the bus is operating normally. The operator??? Well------???? After removing all the electronic gear overhead to get at and repair my inverters for the overhead EL panel, I do what I always do, check all systems to see if they still work, what after moving and pulling wires around. Well, my starter would not turn over. What on earth could I have done to cause this problem? Nothing in the Blue box helps. I also noticed that day halogen recognition lights I added a year ago were not working. I had power to their relay wired into the ignition terminal strip to avoid leaving them on inadvertently. Off with the key off. On my bus it's terminal 2 tied to relay SK 20 in the lower load center. According to my schematics SK20 is a ECU relay functioning with the neutral safety switch with the key on. I don't have any idea what else the ECU does but with the front key on sends power through that relay to the shift pad and engine test lights, that isssss if the rear switch is in front mode. In the off mode or rear mode it gives me a do not shift light and the bus will not start from the front. How did that rear switch get turned off? Two weeks ago I shut it off while in the engine bay cleaning and painting. Did not want anything stupid to happen. Like I said, the bus is operating normally, the operator------well. However, if that relay ever fails on the road I think I know how to by pass that circuit. Better yet I am going to carry an extra Bosch breaker on board. Getting towed sounds expensive. Yours should get a similar type of indication. Thanks for your help.

Leroy,
Just went out and started the bus from the engine compartment. With the engine running, the Do Not Shift light does NOT come on. The Do Not Shift Light and the Check Trans LED come on momentarily when the ignition key is first turned to the on position from the drivers dash.

Curt,
Interesting, from the drivers dash mine is momentary also. Otherwise, it is different.
