2002 Winnebago Brave Electrical system Problems

“Parking brake on vehicle locks up when vehicle is stopped and will not release. Vehicle cannot be moved. Parking brake also tries to engage while traveling down the highway. This has occurred six times since 2011. Each time the parking brake pressure sensor is replaced and one time the parking brake shoes were replaced as well. There is also a leak in the actuator. We have been unable to fix this without the problem occurring again and again.”

“No warning - engine stopped running and lost all engine electric including headlights, turn signals, brake lights and emergency flashers. Power wire to ABS system burned to exhaust header, loose bulk head connector and blown 40 amp & 60 amp fuses. Replaced fuses, repaired wire and tightened bulk head connector.”

“While driving 50 MPH the engine stopped running and all electrical power ceased. Brake lights and hazard warning lights were rendered inoperative. We could not get entirely off the road so not having hazard warning lights was very dangerous for oncoming traffic as well as us. There was a strong smell of electrical wire burning but no further fire was found. Neither the chassis or coach manufacture take responsibility for not having a fail safe system for brake lights and hazard warning lights not being opperational.”

“Dt: the contact owns a 2002 Winnebago Brave that is on a work horse chassis. After driving the vehicle approximately 2 hours he stopped at a rest area about 110 miles from his home. When he tried to restart the vehicle it would not start and nothing would operate. There was no power going through the ignition switch to start the engine. There were no warning indicator sounds nor was there power to the dashboard instruments. After further evaluation a mechanic determined that the ignition switch and the connectors to the switch had melted. …”
