Ok, I'm telling the whole story just in case Part 1 is some way related to Part 2 (I don't think so, but what do I know?).
Just got the AC and starter replaced, building back confidence in my RV, went to a State Park for the weekend. Sunday, getting ready to drive back to home base. I had just finished posting a few pics to Instagram and mentioned how darn good I felt and how my RV was performing with something like military precision. Jinxed! 10 minutes later the right front jack won't retract. Called a local RV Guy, he used a 2x4 to pry-push the Jack back up. No warning light/alarm, time to go...
Jinxed, again! Not 10 miles down the road Engine light comes on. Except I noticed nothing else. RV felt fine, was driving fine, accelerated with no problem, no smells, no smoke, no fumes, nothing. So I kept driving another 60 miles home. Nothing, drove fine, felt fine, nothing. I get home and let it sit a while then go check the oil. I had checked the oil before I left that morning (had recently changed the oil) and it was full-up and looked new, and was still full-up and looked new. Started great. No leaks, no drips, idled like normal. The whole time the Temp Gauge showed dead-medium temperature, never moved. Still have an Engine Light.
The only thing I noticed was the coolant was slightly low, about a half inch below the line. So I got some Dex-Cool coolant and topped up the reservoir. Starts fine, runs fine, still have the Engine Light with other info (see pic)... I let it idle until it gets to running temp, about 15 minutes, shut it off, came back in 45 minutes, coolant fine, oil fine, still have the Engine Light...
Anybody have any ideas???
