MHRookie Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 2003 Monaco Dynasty 94,000 mi. Looking for info on where to get steering wheel slip ring or clock spring. Not exactly sure which one I have yet. I encountered a smartwheel horn, wiper glitch and will need to do update some parts. I know where to get a new control board looking for the other parts of the system? thanks, Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Van Arsdall Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I was able to get one from Veurink's RV Center in Grand Rapids Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan K Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 If your controls are lighted, you have a clock spring. Last I looked, it was pretty expensive for what it is but someone was successful replacing it by one for $10-20 from Volkswagen. That's what I would do, and upgrade from the current slip ring in ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetAburner Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 My '99 Kenworth had the same TRW smart wheel. Lighted controls. Both Kenworth and Peterbilt used that wheel. Any of those dealers will have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfbolkovatz Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I HAD similar issues, the following were successful corrections. thee is a 4 pin connector near the base of the steering column, use electrical spray cleaner, next remove ALL the connections to the control box in the FRB and clean thoroughly. Corrected my problem. Note on the 4 pin connector, 2 wires provide power to light the functions the other 2 are to the control all the functions. Windshield wipers, horn, flash lights exterior, and cruise control, interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacwjames Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Here is a parts page for my Steering column, it is a Douglas Autotech. Also attached is a bulletin showing how to replace if it get to that point. Veurinks shows this based on the parts page #, https://shop.findmyrvparts.com/clock-spring-kit-motorhome-monaco-16616943-1900043-p/190063.htm There are some trouble shooting steps you could do to confirm the problem, VIP Smarthwheel has a good trouble shooting guide. 1 Steering Colunm Assembly.pdf D10106 Clock spring bulletins.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschfmkrs1 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Had same smartwheel issues with suddenly no horn; cruise, wipers. Fix- disconnected the control module in the outside electrical compartment on the drivers side, removed it and re-soldered cold joints on the back of the circuit board, now everything works again, correctly. 2004 Monaco Signature 45’ Castle III Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Steve, I don't have details because I still have slip rings, not clock spring but pretty sure I have seen it described on irv2 back then. May want to search for it there.

MHRookie Posted Monday at 08:57 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 08:57 PM Here is the irv2 link. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f115/2000-windsor-smartwheel-douglas-column-slip-ring-to-clockspring-conversion-429808.html post #11 gives part# & cost from the original installer. **NOTE - this clock spring was installed in a steering wheel with the original slip ring system. NOTE 2- you should see what your current steering wheel count is - this VW unit is a 5 turn… could lead to an issue. For $10, it would be worth buying to see if it will work.
