Scotty Hutto Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hello All, I have a burned-out light in my speedometer assembly. I’ve pulled out the speedo (gauge, Not swimsuit), and it appears to be a sealed unit, with no way to get to the bulbs, so I don’t know what kind (incandescent, LED?) or the size (usually a 286 bulb). Has anyone opened this unit? Is there a trick, or do I need to find a speedometer shop to fix it? (PS - it feels odd when you’re the webmaster and can’t figure out which forum to post your question in. 🤣) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve P Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Speedo? Images! Images!! Arrgghh! And as for "which forum", imagine how we mere mortals feel... Seriously, thanks for all you and others do to support this site and make it the go-to site for monacoers everywhere. Happy Thanksgiving! I wish I could answer your question, but electrical stuff is my albatross. Maybe try Myron, handle YC1 on IRV2 forum... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdccmc Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Seems to me I replaced the dimmer switch in my 2008 Monaco Diplomat due to no lights in dash. It worked for me. And the lights on the panel in step entry came on as well. Hope this helps. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpasetto Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Hope you're successful at the speedo shop, or whatever repair you attempt. if you want to replace it, Monaco installed gauges made by Beede on some of their coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ukulelemark Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I’m following as I have the same problem. It just happened all of the sudden. I’d like to try a new dimmer switch. Where might I find one. 04 Dynasty 38’ Bishop with Tag. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadTripper2084 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 It's probably just 2 plastic molds that snap together. Can you post a pic? If so, you can carefully separate the halves with a plastic spudger or old credit card at a 45deg angle. I've even used thin flat head screwdrivers but that will likely mark the plastic edge a bit (not that anyone will see it under the dash). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodylmiller Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I'll be watching if there is an easy fix. I have one light out on one of the air pressure gauges. Not a big deal, but if there is an easy way to get to and replace the light that would be great. Woody Miller 09 Dynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
