Re: Monaco blinking "Warning" light
Dennis, that makes good sense. I did drain a bit of fluid out of the big filter and it seemed quite water free, however, It's also obvious that the floor of our big plastic tank was lifted by the vacuum. Any garbage on the floor of that tank would have been disturbed and could easily have gotten into the fuel pickup pipe? Thanks for your thoughts...656Views0likes0CommentsRe: Monaco blinking "Warning" light
Today I removed the chassis batteries ground strap for a full minute to see if rebooting the electronics might get rid of the flashing "warning" light. That didn't work either. However... We had another odd thing going on during our trip through the Rockies. We were running with just over 1/3 of a tank of diesel fuel, and the next time I looked (2 minutes later) my low fuel light was on and the gauge was reading flat empty. We drove for quite a distance before we were able to refuel. During this time the gauge corrected once and then went back to reading empty. When I removed the screw on cap to my fuel tank a very large vacuum was relieved. I refilled, all was well, and off we went. This might have tripped an error code? I have spoken to both Monaco and Cummins, who found it easiest to just blame each other. I have a mechanic dropping by soon with a test unit that reads error codes. Strange stuff? My dashboard electronics system doesn't describe what it is warning me about, or the error code.656Views0likes0CommentsMonaco blinking "Warning" light
I have a 2008 Monaco Cayman with a Cummins ISB 6.7 L Engine, about 50K miles on her clock. On our recent trip from Saskatoon, SK to Victoria, BC we started having a new light blinking for about the first 20 seconds the key is on (no need to start the engine, the light still goes out). In that time period this "Warning" light goes out and never returns until the engine is turned off and restarted. The engine is running perfectly and all the gauges are showing proper results. I'm wondering if I might be able to cure this by just removing my starting battery ground straps for a few minutes? This method rebooted my 2012 Ford Explorer once when it got confused. Just switching off the power switches doesn't work. There is still some power available even with the switches off. According to my manuals this light usually is triggered by low coolant or water in the fuel. My coolant was down to the minimum level, but not below. I filled it to the maximum. The light still blinks? Has anyone had success rebooting Monaco electronics?3.4KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Laws about TOADS?
Let me try clear things up a little, folks. This vehicle was swinging so forcefully that the toad on the dolly was visibly moving the towing vehicle side to side; enough so anyone driving it could not help but notice their situation. Despite this, he soldiered on, travelling well over 60 MPH on a busy four lane highway. He obviously had no concern whatsoever with the possibility that he might just go out of control and be the cause of a serious accident. I could care less how old a rig is, or a toad either, provided they are well maintained and driven responsibly. This was neither.360Views0likes0Comments- 232Views0likes0Comments
