thats what Iam thinking, there is a huge metal thing with cooling fins on it, that alot of thick red battery cables are bolted to via a post like on a battery, that is near connected to the main battery switch (1,2, both, off) but its almost impossible to trace these cables between this and the...

No iam pretty sure it hasnt, ive own the truck since 2009 as it came out of service from a nursing home, and I purchased new batteries for it then, and it used to sit weeks at a time. When I got the truck, most of the systems were missing, like the expensive inverter system and the battery...

No, i dont believe so. it does have a master switch on the console, but that doesnt have any power with main battery switch in the off position. I really cant find anything with power with the main bat switch off. but there is a draw somewhere.

Hi all, please forgive me, iam not an EMT. But i cannot find any answers from the basic ford website, as nobody knows about ambulances. Iam hoping, a mechanic that works on these things can answer my questions. I use my ambulance to haul dirtbikes and 4 wheelers and my computer business, . the...

i found out these are simply 100 watt speakers, in an inclosed case. and the big air nossle part sticking out feed into a plastic horn. :) I do need amber lenses for a two whelen 4000 series light bars if anyone knows where to get them,these seem hard to find

ok ty, i didnt realize this. let me take a moment to show you all appreciation for your duty, I had two friends in the past year that got injured and without the help of EMS they wouldnt be here today, and both of them limped into the firehouse to say a special thank you to the crew that helped...

Ok ty, but if anyone has info about these siren drivers, I need to know if these are just aircompressors. I havent hooked them up to a dc power source yet cause I dont wanna blow my eardrums out. this came up when i searched for the part number http://www.whelen.com/install/131/13141.pdf and...

forgot to mention, the lightbars are a "whelen advantage 4000 series" I cant find any info on them hardly. they are all loaded with halogen lights, and rotators. no strobe lights. as I read some of them come with strobes.

Hi all, I own a 1990 ford e350 ambulance with mcoy miller box. the lighting and sirens were gone when i got it. However Ive been wanting to put it back to original and recently got to a 2003 wrecked ambulance and got all the stuff off it, the two whelen lightbars will fit perfectly, I think it...

Hello all, my 90 e350 ford ambulance seemed to lost brakes, actually it lost the power assist part. there is two pumps seperate for the power steering and this brake system. I discovered a 2 wire cable going to the pump for the brake system ,one wire was corroded and broke off , could this...

Ok all works OK,, Ive made a system, where i feed my power to battery one, with a cutoff switch. and I have the power now i need to run everything in the ambulance while iam parked,, well not on max,lol... my code 3 lightbar sucks 63 amps with it all lit up , there was a basic code 3 bar that...

actually, ive decided not to back feed the system, and run seperate cables to a battery that will provide 50 amps , so that will keep the battery charged too. I already have low amperage, 10 amp chargers on each battery to help keep them charged, but anything over a 10amp draw and they shut...

i forgot to mention, ill be getting my ac power when iam parked via a small generator, that will power my aux 12 volt dc source that will feed the module with the power

No, iam just gonna connect into it with my own 12 volt power source to power it when iam parked, so i keep the master battery switch off and not use the trucks batteries. but when iam driving or using batterys, i wont be using my aux power source..

Ok i have found the relay,that is connected to the main power switch on driver side console that powers the patient area. all the relays,etc. are in, what i call the "avionics hole" (refering to the little area underneath an airliner cockpit that houses all the wiring,relays,etc.) the cabinet is...
