Break Down Description: Loss of all instruments
Effect:No idea whats going on with engine, speed, fuel.
Outcome: Repaired??? by Freightliner, Lakewood, NJ
I was on a trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina via Lurray Caverns Va, stopped for fuel on 95 just over the border into NC, after fueling, started the engine and pulled out and then realized my fuel gauge was at E, the saw that all my gauges were pegged at zero. I knew I had a full tank of fuel, and I use a Garmin GPS which gave me a speed, so I continued on my trip and when I was going north of DC on 95, the instruments came on again, only to die again a few hundred miles later.
Brought it to Freightliner and they said that the wire plugs worked loose from the EDC, they tighten them (supposedly) and the dash was back.
Put the rig up for the winter and took it out for a trip to Fla in April, got all set (CHECKED THE TIRES) drove about 50 miles and say goodbye to the dash again. So off I go, no dash.. I got to my brothers in Florida and played with the suspect connections and viola, we have dash again. On the way home, I stop at Lazy Days, stay for a day looking (drooling) over other RV's,no problems (off course). Head home and get to just north of DC( I think this area is part of the Bermuda Triangle), and it's toodle-loo to the dash again. Back to Freightliner and once more they clean the contacts and use dielectric grease on the connectors. I picked it up today, and we shall see what we shall see. If it craps out again, I will make an appt with Freightliner, Gaffney, SC to be looked at.
