Wires?

[Johnny]

I've used the search function and I can't find an answer to this question.

I'll admit that I haven't read any manuals yet, but in my defense my wife has been visiting our son and our newest grandson in Idaho for the past two weeks. What with keeping up with taking care of the horses, five dogs, two cats and all of the other chores around here I haven't had much down time.

So, what are these wires for above the drain pipe,?

Just a wild guess, but could it be pre-wired for a macerator pump? A fairly large gauge power and ground at first glance. Is there voltage present in the wires?

To be honest I haven't had time to check to see if there is power. My multimeter is sitting right there in the garage too. I'm hoping you are right about it being pre-wired for a macerator since I have one on order.

Okay, yesterday I sent the picture above to the dealer and asked them to identify these wires. They just sent me the following text message:

"Taked to David in service and he said they were your running lights that are capped off there."

I suppose it's possible, but it sure doesn't make any sense to me. Why would they cap off the running light wires in an exposed location?

I've sent an e-mail with a copy of the above picture to Jayco. I'll see what they say about it.

I was wondering the same thing. Ours are set a little farther in, directly under the freshwater drains. The wires get absolutely drenched every time we drain. Can't imagine that's the best spot to cap off those wires.

Alright, I just got the e-mail response from Larry Elswick at Jayco. He said that they are indeed the prep wires for the macerator option, so you fellows were right and the service department at my dealer was wrong. I know, a real shocker there, right?

I've already received the macerator pump I ordered so I guess now I can get it rigged up to work.

Good news! Did you find where it is fused and whether there already is the proper fuse in place?

I bought a pump for my Seneca, need to do my install project too. Probably will still do slinky at most campsites, but need to pump it here at home.

I haven't had a chance to even look at it yet, but I will be looking into it now that I know what they are.
