2005 Winnebago Journey 34h Smart Wheel 84-00517-hhh...where is the Master Control Module? I'm parked with nothing running and my wipers just came on by themselves...had to disconnect at the wiper motor. Now nothing works on my steering wheel...help?
 
Welcome.

It’s likely someone with a similar model will chime in soon, but until they do you might get results looking at Freightliner sources for chassis problems.

You might search the Freighliner forum at www.irv2.com. Here’s a direct link:


Your Journey is two separate things, a Freightliner chassis and a Winnebago “home” built on top of that chassis.

Hope this helps.
 
Hola...I have a 2004 Journey...and I don't think I have a "smart wheel". ? (that's how smart I am!). But I'm interested to learn what transpires with KC's issue. The wipers just came on by themselves? And now nothing works? Yikes. I'll be watching to learn if I have this Control Module. And where.
Every year that goes by I'm grateful that I have an older vehicle. I don't even need DEF. And seems a lot less problems!
Good luck, KC,

I've been researching this and I'm NOT convinced it is a problem with the 84-00517-hhh Control Board. I'm hearing a lot about Clock Spring issues but I think it is a problem with the Master Control Module which I have put off trying to locate until I can get time. Likely going to remove the driver seat so I can really get up in there and pretend like I'm actually going to fix it myself! I have to believe someone knows exactly what's up and how to fix it given the symptoms I detailed.
