found a loose wire
I found a loose wire up in the electrical junction box that is mounted to the king pin box. The reason I even looked in there was the junction box was loose. The wire is orange with a black stripe. It is teamed together with the blue wire, I believe the blue wire is the brake wire. The orange wire looks like it was "wire nutted" to someting at one time.
All the other wires look OK. Red to red, green to green, brown to brown. The Brakeway switch is wired white to ground and black to the blue wire. There is a #10-12 black wire that is "hot" all the time,I assume this is coming from the battery.
If anyone can take look at what they have, maybe I can figure out where the orange wire goes.
The two trips we have made with our 2955 have been great. Everything seems to be working fine. Buying the fifth used always leaves a few questions in the back of my head.
This is a great site to be part of and any information from the fellow Montana owners would be great. Thanks

On my 04 2955 the orange/black wire is wire nutted together wih the 2 black wires.
As Steve pointed out one black is a heavier gauge than the other. They are also the only black wires in the box. Not sure what the orange/black wire is for.

Thanks for all the info. I really appreciate you guys looking inside the junction box. It makes some sense that all the black wires are nutted together. How this orange wire got loose or taken apart from the rest is interesting to say the least. I'll put it all back together this weekend, hook up the truck and check everything out.
Does Keystone put a wire schematic(dc and ac circuits) of the entire fifth wheel in with the owner documents? All I found was the diagram how to wire up the truck to the fifth.
Thanks again for helping me out.

No wiring diagrams are available. Not even to the Montana Dealer's Service Department!
