Hello. 

I appreciate the information.  I have checked each fuse in the run box and all are working. 

Stumped.

I'm looking for the fuse.

Ron P., 2004 Monaco Executive 

I have no taillights and clearance lights.   I have brake lights and turn signals. 

Can someone help me locate the fuse that controls the taillights and clearance lights. 

Ron P.  2004 Monaco Executive 

Thanks Joe.

Thanks a bunch.   I'll give it a shot.  Gonna wait until weather warm up.   Thanks again.

I have a problem opening my entry door from the outside.   No problem from the inside. 

I'm checking to see if there is any information that would allow me to cut an opening to access the adjusting screws.   How far up or down from the holding latch?

Has anyone done this?

Ron P.  2004 Monaco Executive 

I am trying to locate the fuse that controls the taillights. 

I have looked for fuses marked taillights and found nothing. 

What should I be looking for?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I trying to find the name/nomenclature of the component so that I can find out what its purpose, cost, installation,  etc.

I recently asked about a plug or connector that was located on my engine as I face it.  It is a cummins ism 500. I am trying to determine what it is. 

I have circled in red.  Ot looks like a wiring harness of some kind.  Please advise. 

Ron P.

The plug/harness is not melted,  just wet with oil.

2004 Monaco Executive,  Ron P.

There is a plug of some sort with wires coming from it on the back of my engine,  cummins 500 ism.  I have attached pictures. 

Does anyone know what this is and why it would be wet with oil.

This has been posted before.  Some are aware….others maybe not.  Typically a Blue Seas 300/350 A switch will be fine.  The circuits that you are using do not go that high.  You also have to understand or know how your inverter is connected.  There are TWO methods.  The original Monaco was connecting the inverter on the switched side.  Thus, a 2000 watt inverter would be OK with a 300/350 A switch as the charging voltage is a little over 100 A.  At 2000 watts & 12.5 VDC, that is 160 A.  

OK…later (2006 Dynasty? & my 2009 Camelot), the inverter is connected directly to the battery.  So, turning OFF the House switch doesn’t kill the Inverter.  I have a round 300 (maybe 350) A fuse.  It is on the high current print or you can nose around and find it,  I carry a spare.  NAPA ain’t gonna have one.  The Dynasty (memory) is maybe 50 A higher.  BUT again, the main Disconnect switch doesn’t see that load.

OK…now to WHICH switch.  The link that was provided is great.  BUT, which circuit do you have?  If you have a Camelot, or lower….the ON/OFF is what you need.  BUT! If you have a Dynasty (maybe 2006 & UP), you PROBABLY need the dual circuit.  OK…what is a Dual Circuit.

Simple.  My switch only has two LARGE studs or terminals,  that means it just turns ON & OFF.  But, if you have a switch (like the 2006 Dynasties & UP), they are Dual Circuit.  There is a pair of smaller (#12 wire) terminals,  You have the dual circuit.  This smaller control circuit is what keeps the Big Boy Dual (Bi Directional) charging circuit working.  Some folks have just ordered the single….OPPS….my batteries are running down,  the fix….jumper the two control wires….but in reality, to stay with the design intent, you really should put back in the OEM switch with the dual or High and Low current contacts.

That’s it….

@powersltc

I don’t know about your OEM switch and it’s reliability.  There were some earlier brands of switches that repeatedly failed.  The Blue Seas is rugged and is the gold standard.  Look at your switch at your switch and get the name and model….should be on the front.  Obviously disconnect your batteries at the banks prior to looking.  If you have only two BIG terminals….and not an additional 2 smaller ones….the link will work. If you have the 2 sets, then the Dual circuit.  Look at the switch and see what the amps are.  If it is 400, then go to the Blue Seas site and get one that is rated higher.  They sell (memory) up

My suggestion would be to just remove the disconnect and bolt both leads together.  The get information off the old one and do a general search. 

I'm sure someone will chime and recommend a certain brand.  

Mine was a Guest 2102-3-B, I do carry one as a spare.

 

 

Thanks.   Much Appreciated

I'm checking to see if anyone have a part number and source for a battery disconnect switch. 

I try to switch off chassis batteries, but I have power in both the on and off position. 

Thanks in advance. 

I haven't fixed lights yet.   I have an appointment on 14 June.   Hopefully they can figure out the problem. 

Oh.

As others have mentioned, possibly bad ground. With the lights off, the turn signals can ground thru the run light filament. 

When I changed to LED's on my 2000 Dynasty, it has the lower marker light connected to the run circuit and the turn circuit. With the turn signal off, the bulb would ground thru the signal filament. With lights on, it would blink opposite the turn signal, as it could ground the bulb between blinks. The LED bulbs won't provide this ground thru the bulb, because they are polarity specific. My solution was to disconnect the wire to the signal, & ground it, making the light a running light only.

I did think about a dual filament bulb, but haven't had that much "spare" time.

My turn signal flasher operates a relay, so no problem with the lighter load not triggering the flasher...

Thanks.   The daylight run light sounds good. 

Hey. 

I tried to switch all to LED and realized the same problem.   So I switched all back to  regular bulbs.  Taillights work when park and regular lights.   Signal lights work when I turn off regular lights.   Back up lights work. 

I haven't checked brake lights.

Hello.

I have an issue with my taillights and signal lights working at the same time. 

I have replaced all bulbs and sockets.  Signal lights work.  They will not work  when I turn the taillights on. 

Any ideas/suggestions. Thanks 

Thanks.   Much Appreciated 

Thanks. 

Much Appreciated. 

I haven't been to the stores yet,  just searching online.   

I will try that next week. 

Thanks

Hello All.

I am looking for a source for the taillight harness or the bulb sockets.  I could not find any parts numbers on my existing ones.   The bulbs don't seat well on some. 

Any help would be appreciated.

I purchased the mirrors from Pacific RV MIRRORS. 

I ordered in February and got them on Wednesday this week.  

When Velvac made the 2030 mirrors,  it came with an amber signal light.   Monaco added the camera.

Paul.

I was able to repair my camera mount.   I replaced the screw and spring. 

I bought two new mirrors and switched components to new mirrors.
