If anyone ever needs to change a starting solenoid on a series 60 DD you will need a torx socket. I bought a set of them and they really come in handy.

Funny story about the panic alarm system on a Newell. My son-in-law was using my '93 Newell to travel with his family to N. Louisiana. My middle grandson and the youngest grandson were playing in the bedroom while my daughter and son-in-law were in front driving down the highway. All of a sudden the horns start blowing on/off. My son-in-law pulls over and starts looking for the circuit breaker/fuse to stop the horns from blowing. After 10 minutes of looking (he's not familiar with Newells) he calls me on the cell phone and says "How can I stop this damn horn from blowing?"

I told him to walk back to the bedroom and turn off the PANIC button next to the bed. He soon figured out who done it!

We all had a good laugh about it later that week.

Moral of story: if a family member uses your coach, show them where the panic button is!
