  1. I had the same inverter and the plug for the remote at the inverter (the phone plug on the front) kept failing. You could get a long phone wire and plug it in to the remote and the inverter to test if that wire is the problem. I replaced that inverter with a full sign wave Xantrex model and am happy with the results and so is my residential refrigerator. JimJ
  2. Thank you all for all the help finding my dash gauges problem. I had narrowed it down to a fuse so I checked all the fuses and the last one that was hidden under components was the blowed one (easy one to overlook). So now I have all gauges working except the oil gauge and I think that is the sending unit. Thanks again JimJ
  3. Good idea from IvanK so I found the Ignition relay(omron 7866) there were several on that board so I took the brake light one out and put it in the ignition and no luck. There is one in the back bay but not labeled so don't know which one it is. I have checked all the fuses that I have found and wires and don't see anything wrong. I don't know if the cruise control is working but Tach, oil, and voltage not working. Still open to suggestions and still searching.
  4. Thanks for the replies. Voltage, oil, and tach still not working. I have checked the ground (white) and it is OK. I have NO voltage from the red to white on the gauge itself with key turned on. Have looked everywhere for a loose plug or wire and can't find anything. The wiring diagram shows wires from the gauges going to the ignition sw ,but all wires coming out of the ignition sw. are white. don't know where to go next. It seems like it is a loose connection somewhere because oil gauge went out first then tach and voltage. It could be two different problems. Any helpful ideas. I have not disconnected the battery as Mr Ambassador suggested, I will do that later. Thanks JimJ
  5. My oil gauge was intermittent for a while then went out. I thought it was a ground issue but couldn't find it. Now the oil, Tach, voltage gauges are not working. I have jumped a good ground wire to the ground on the oil and voltage but it didn't help. I have checked the fuses in the battery bay and don't see anything blowed. I don't know where to look so if anyone has a question or any suggestion how to track this down let me know. 2003 Monaco Diplomat Thanks JimJ
  6. Thanks everyone that replied. As I said before I had no signal at the sending unit by the oil filter. BernieH said his is on top the engine above the manifold so I traced the wire with signal tracer and found another sending unit that is connected to the gauge. I have not been able to work on it due to some health issues in my family. I think This has led me to the sensor that I think is the problem so when able I will solve my oil pressure issues. Thanks again JimJ
  7. Trying to find my oil pressure gauge problem I have put a signal tracer on the wire on the gauge then receiver on the wire at the sending unit and nothing. Bummer. I tightened all the connections at the gauge. Now I don't know if it is the wire to the sending unit, wrong sending unit, or signal tester not going that far. Does anyone know where the sending unit for the oil gauge is on a 03 ISC Cummins? The one I am testing is above the starter and I think this is the right one. Loose ground sounds like my problem but I have tightened the connections. Could be a wire loose in the connecter. Gary I think your coach has different wiring setup than mine. Thanks for any help JimJ
  8. My oil gauge on the dash is working erratic, it is pegged all the way to the right then at times it will start working but not often. I am thinking a loose connection or possibly the sending unit. I have located A sending unit on the oil filter side of the block above the starter that I think may be the oil pressure sending unit. Does anyone know if that sending unit is the oil and if not where is the oil sending unit. 2003 ISC 330 Cummins Thanks JimJ
  9. Just a followup on the transmission cooler radiator leak. The tank developed a leak for the second time, first time was 2 years before, I removed it and had it tig welded at a machine shop and it looked good but it developed another leak after around 400 miles so filled up with tranny fluid @$52/gal and limped to my destination. Took it off again, getting pretty good at this, took it to a machine shop and explained where it was splitting and that I wanted a patch welded over the corner where it was leaking. They Tig welded the crack then welded a patch over it. I think it will hold only time will tell.Thanks for all the helpful replies but I was forced to get it done quick so the patch job. ThanksJimJ
  10. I have developed a leak in the tank on the tranny cooler. I have had it welded twice so that isn't working very good. It is getting a crack in the tank in the same place and the weld isn't holding. I don't see any stress on it in that area but maybe the vibration is breaking it. If anyone knows of a source for the older Monaco parts please let me know. The radiator is 12" x 22" and mounts on top and r side I could try another weld job but would like to replace it. Thanks for any help JimJ 2003 Diplomat
