I did take out all those screws but I can't get the panels to budge. All the controls and stuff are holding it in.

I tried that but it won't come out, all the other vent control stuff keeps it from moving enough to get at the back of the fan control knob. Is there a trick to it? The ether system I will never need, I'm in Florida and when I picked the truck up in NC it was covered in ice and probably hadn't...

Radiator fan airhose fixed, it's all working as it should. Cabin fan still a mystery. Is there a diagram somewhere how it's put together? I got all the screws off the case and nothing will budge, I don't want to force anything because I don't want it to break. What would be the easiest way to...

I didn't rebuild my cabin fan connector, that's a different guy on a different thread. I'm still trying to diagnose why the fan won't come on at all. I'm good with volts and amps but ignorant on ohms, I do have a really good voltmeter with ohmmeter. Considering the other stuff that happened, my...

Popped the cabin and found some "interesting things". RATS. Engine covered with turds, air line to radiator was chewed off. Also found similar air lines on top of engine that lead to a couple of whatchamacallits, not sure what those are but I need to replace at least one of those lines because...

Finally got around to addressing these issues. Fuse block is fine. Breakers are fine. Proper voltage is running to the pins. No joy on the cabin fan but I do hear something click and hiss in the radiator fan solenoid area when I play with its breaker. Maybe something is disconnected in there...

It has generic leafsprings. Not a lot of ground clearance though, definitely not made for offroad.

If you could find one of these with the interior plywood in better shape it would be an easy all-weather camper conversion. There's a couple inches of fiberglass behind the walls and ceiling. The floor is done with some kind of linoleum. Door is super solid. Has a lever type parking brake but on...

Here's some more photos

The inside I have already stripped out. It was an air conditioner mounted in the front "window" and an RV-style wraparound dinette on the opposite end. Looked like there were some equipment racks of some kind in there at some point but they had been removed before it was scrapped. Found a tag...

I got this trailer for $150 on govplanet auction. Needed $200 in new tires and some FlexSeal to stop the roof leaking and it's good to go. It's got a wagon style chassis with pintle tongue but no ID plates. I want more of these if I can find them, it's nicely insulated and it makes a fantastic...

I don't plan on overfusing, just troubleshooting to see what works and what doesn't. Truck is 1998

I tested CB23 with a 30A fuse, no joy. Fuse was fine. Need to test and see if there is power to that breaker.

The solenoid is the one from callmecolt. I'd guess power source issue considering the cabin fan is not blowing either. Gotta dig some more.

Fording switch has no effect on stopping the radiator fan.
