Thought I'd let you know what I found out on my dash lightproblem(turbo boost gauge). The consensus seemed to be a bad bulb or no power to it. The light and the power source were fine. I was considering pulling the dash panel since this gauge is at the top of the panel on my coach. I decided to try to find it from under the dash first and I'm glad I did. As it turns out, the light socket had pulled out of the back of the gauge housing and it was dangling amongst the rest of the wiring under the dash. I could see the bulb was lit when I looked under the dash with the headlights on. The wire to the light seemed to me to be too short. I moved the wiring around to try to take the strain off of it, but it pulled out again. I redid it and put some electrical tape over where it inserted into the gauge housing. If this doesn't hold it I may have to take some zip ties and tie the wiring bundles up to something under the dash.
