Marker lights out

We have a Holiday Rambler Endeavor. 1998 37'. We recently had the engine replaced and we jut got back on the road tonight. We were pulled over because our taillights were out. It looks like all the marker lights are out. We checked the bulbs they seemed fine. Checked the fuses they seemed fine. Now we're not sure what is wrong. We're in New Castle Colorado and it doesn't seem like their are any rv shops here. The brake lights are fine as are the headlights. Speedometer also went out. Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome :)

    Fix the tachometer and your marker lights will probably be fixed too. There's a 60/40 chance your tachometer works off your alternator so I'd look for a loose or left off wire near it.

    belsy88,
    You say you recently had the engine replaced. Can I assume it's a diesel pusher? If so, can I also assume most of the work was from the rear of the coach? And that means there might have been some wires unplugged or, just not plugged in good enough in the rear of the coach? Headlights are on a different circuit, as well as the brake lights and turn signals. Tail and marker lights are a different part of the headlight switch and, also have different fuses.

    I don't know your model or chassis so, I can't specifically tell you where to go for plugs, wire connections, fuse locations etc. Let us know if you find out the problem. Good luck.

  • What chassis is your coach on?

    If all fuses are good(there may be multiple fuse boxes-make sure you find the chassis box), I'd look for an unplugged connector someplace up under the dash or most likely around the engine compartment. Check every connector on the wiring harnesses-and push them tight-you may have one that looks connected but is not tight? JUst some thought to get you started...
