All dash instruments stuck not responding

[sam-tip]

I have a 2008 Winnebago Tour. Twice now the instrument panel has frozen. The tack and speedometer frozen in position. I would stop and it would say I am going 65mph at 1500 rpm. The odometer stopped. The turn signals and brakes lights worked but did not display on the dash.
I turned coach off and the lights on the display stayed on and the instruments remained frozen. I disconnect all the batteries and the display would reset and everything works fine. This time it took me awhile to realize I was not doing 65. Good thing the Garmin displays speed.

Since your engine appears to be working normally, my guess would be either the computer itself or computer output to the instruments.

Sounds like a trip to Freightliner is necessary. Check to make sure your 3-year warranty is still in force. Good Luck, Indiana Journey

Call the Freightliner Help line during normal business hours and tell the tech what you have. They'll put you on the right track. Most failures of the data line to the instruments causes them to go to zero, so your issue may be easy to diagnose.

1-800-FTL-HELP. They are 100% on call backs if you don't reach someone. If I remember correctly there is a sequence of buttons to push to zero and span your instruments.
