Speedo Lights

[Scotty Hutto]

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. 🤣)

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...

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
