Hi,
I have an 2008 coach with a 4 gauge analog cluster. While driving down the road, I lost 3 of the gauges...partially; I lost the tach, speedo, odometer, turbo, temp and volts. I still had the brake pressures, hour meter on the engine, fuel and the backlights. So kind of a partial loss of instruments. I am "guessing" I either lost a power lead or a ground issue.
Anyone know where the fuse is for the gauges by any chance? I didn't see anything in the main electrical bay (the one with the pretty light indicators on the fuses), so that leads me to think it may be up in the front nose section where there are a few fuse panels without the pretty lights that make troubleshooting a breeze.... Any one know if there is an issue with leaving the key in the "on" position for like 20 minutes while testing all the fuses, or should I just start up and idle?
Interestingly I let the coach set over night and opted for a cold beer in lieu of doing any deep dives on up front fuse panels and voila, all the gauges are working again after starting the engine! I am hoping this was a one time event... likely not.
As it is a Monday and we all need a good laugh...I was wondering if anyone has ANY electrical schematics for a Newell?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Not sure if I got the only coach with no real documentation or this is common, but any manuals would be greatly appreciated!
