I have a 98 Tiffin Allegro Bus on an XC chassis. I'm doing some rehab work and need some info. The instrument cluster (speedo, tach, etc.) works fine, but the clear plexiglass is fractured in several places. I'd like to replace just the clear part, but I'm unable to find it, or even the cluster itself. The FCC # is 22-47406-000.

In addition, the climate control has an issue. The blower switch won't work in full mode, just the 1st 3 settings. Is this a switch or something else issue? And who makes this control center anyway? It has the push/pull levers with a slider on top and the blower switch to the right. The whole assy has a number of 3500 501 06851, the blower switch 02 2295. Seems common enough, but, no joy on searching the internet.

The panels that cover the instruments and switches, left (tranny, lights, wipers, etc.), center (instrument cluster), and right (climate control, radio, etc.) are all damaged. Are these a Tiffin part or a Freightliner supplied part?

Thank you much,
Doug

Typically the high setting on the blower motor is separate part of the blower motor. When I have had these go out in my cars it means the motor is dying not the switch itself.

Assuming these are the same on RVs you will need to replace the motor to get the full blower power.

That's interesting. I never thought of that. Your answer leads me to another question. Would there be a relay to activate this separate function on the motor, and if so, could that be the issue?

It's possible. It has been quite a while since I had to work on one.
