You helped me so much! I just started pulling wires from my bus and disconnected the rear door switch and the bus wouldn't start. You saved me hours of work! Thanks so much!

[sweetschoolbus]

So glad to see that my bus isn't the only one that showed up with birds-nest wiring. I have a mini stroke every time I open that panel. 😆

[corrinnewright]

Great job guys!! Thank you for all the step by step along the way. Can’t wait to watch all of your adventures to come! One day I will be joining the Skoolie community with ya!

[JakefromSF_NM]

Thank you sir! I have a friend who had this issue. My thought would be replacing the push button with just a switch to by pass the door buzzing

[tcmarie]

I really enjoy watching all your videos. I'm not sure how I missed this one when I was watching them.

[eloyanzaldua]

Fantastic pace, glad I got to see that. I was getting ready to start on that next month. Thanks from louisiana Raza. Take care.

[pelicanmovies]

I'll be trying this tomorrow morning!! Good explanation Meredith and Paco.

[jdsquared]

k. Just got my panels off starting to look at the wiring. I knew it was a continuous wire into the panel, but now I get what it's doing there! This was helpful, thank you. I have emergency windows but its going to be the same as your doors, where it needs the continual ground. These same wires didn't go through your ceiling hatches?

[davidpinner]

Good afternoon guys, keep up the good work.

[wasabifetish]

Thanks guys appreciate it keep up the good work

[kirktruman]

Hey Meridith hey Paco. Wow awesome job. That will be one job I will not look forward to because when I worked on cars I sucked at electrical Lol. Yes we had a wonderful Thanksgiving hope you did also have a wonderful day and a wonderful blessed Sunday.

[johnclamshellsp]

Great videos as always you two. Looking good. LOL, me being "mr proper" perfect with wiring, I hooked up all the cut wires when I got my bus. It was a no start, traced it to the main coach power solenoid/contactor. Yep I learned fast. Save that wiring to recycle back to the bus for your needs. Today begins the bus flooring for my bus, yippy, wife and kids all excited. Also, a very old yucky old man hates me at the RV storage place, seems to have some belief that I am just a drug using hippy, Lol. Has no clue I'm federal and normal.

[holler]

Gus…thanks for the update on this…did you ground the front of the solenoid or side?

[margaretlong]

I'm still in the thick of it! I have a Midsize International I bought 3 month And I spent a 5 hours trying to figure how to disconnect and be able to start the engine. My escape hatch are dry rotted so when I messed with them you know the drill. Now I'm loosing my scruples. I finally figure how to temporary start it because of this video until I am able to tackle all the wiring with calmness. Thank you Meredith and Paco. If you can please send me any links you've viewed ?

[ohheyv]

Did you ever find out what that circular cylinder box was called?? 5:00
I'll be going thru my wires here REAL SOON and I'm recognizing somethings on my bus with this vid!! This is most def super helpful!! THANK YOU for making it!! I'll be linking you guys in my vid!!

[verticle]

Excellent work. Saved me tons of time! Now, how do we disable the No Child Left Behind system. Every time I turn my bus off, if I don’t walk back and open and close the rear emergency exit the alarm (bus horns) will honk until I get back in the bus, close the main entrance, cycle the key, open and close the rear door, and then power off the bus. It sucks. I subscribed so help a brother out.

[elka]

Located on the inside of the door for the wires area is a fuse/wire/etc chart. There should be an area labeled, "BUZZER" it identifies all the wire numbers and location. Not sure if it is on all bus charts but it will save a little time and frustration having to follow the wire though the bus.

[bryanfunk]

Thanks so much this video was extremely helpful!

[wasabifetish]

When I get my bus and we keep this video in mind so when I have to do my stuff I'll be ready

[EthanJones-fwkg]

Thank you so much for making this video really saved me! I have a 2001 International and I also have a 58 pink wire going to that cylinder but my 57 pink wire and 14 (emergency window) wire are going to a buzzer in the electrical panel. I was just planning on disconnecting it from the buzzer. Just curious if you have any input on that?
