odometer and cruise control questions

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

The odometer and cruise work off the same pick up in the '83's unless the
modification was done adding a second pick up to the drivers side drive
wheel.


The pick up at the drive wheel sends a square wave timing width duration
that ends up being the speed on the odometer. I have replaced to that
failed on other Coaches. The pick up sensor is triggered by the notches
on the inside of the break drum of the drive wheels.


Safe travels,

Hi,
folks--



We have our Bird in for some minor repairs at a
good, reputable, big-truck place, but the mechanics are having trouble
figuring out a few things. I did try to search the archives, but didn't
really seem to find specific answers, so may we please call upon your
expertise, regarding the following questions:

[*]The odometer was working only intermittently. What runs the odometer?


---

[*]The mechanics think the pick-up for the cruise control is no good.
What does the cruise control work off?
[/list]I hope those questions are not too vague. We're
asking them the best way we can!



Thanks very much in advance for any help you can
offer!
