Re: Running fridge on DC only

Aero - Change the fan!!! They are $12 - $16 on Amazon. Even though I felt that I diagnosed my non working on AC power problem, I still sent a note to Nova-Kool outlining the testing I'd done, that the fuse was good and I had 122v at the control module, so I diagnosed that the module need changed. They called me and said yes, its the module so changing it is the fix since the fridge works great on DC, but they wanted to tell me to be sure to change the fan as they have a much shorter typical life than the module and being a 2007 I am on borrowed time. He said while doing the work, its so cheap and simple to change the fan, just change it.

So passing on the same to you. Do your connections, but change the fan. I ordered one from Amazon yesterday and it is already on my porch. $12.50 delivered.

Re: Power steering leak

I believe this is the belt I used on my 377 motor to bypass the power steering pulley. Gates K061015.

Re: Power steering leak

Here is an example of what @aero3113 is trying to explain. This is for a water pump conversion where the stock pump is replaced by a crank driven pump. You would be doing the same, except bypassing the power steering pulley, labelled "F" in the diagram. The way to figure out what size belt is to take some string and run it around the pullies and get an overall length with the tensioner at its slack position. That would be your minimum size belt; add about 1/2" so you have just a bit of slack. Take that measurement to your local auto parts place can get you a Gates belt that will be withing 1/2" size or so.

Re: Power steering leak

Which motor? I’d it’s your port motor, just install a shorter belt and bypass the pulley. If it’s the starboard motor, swap the reservoirs and do the shorter belt.

Re: Spot light 2002 342 fiesta vee

Gotta be the old-school Jabsco on a 2002. Check the fuses in the joystick controller. On the face of the controller, there should be two little plastic rectangular fuse covers that just pull off. What happens if you try to physically move the spotlight by hand? If it moves easily, the gears are probably broken (which is fatal).
