Monaco Dynasty Rear Light Issues

[jturbo10]

Just wanted to pass on some feedback on two issues I had with my 2007 Monaco Dynasty IV

(1) Rear brake lights not working. After paying $225 for a mobile repair outfit to come fix my light with no results I spent a lot of time researching the issue. Most of the replies and articles pointed to the reas PCB #2 board. Located a new PCB 2 via Google for about $185 which fixed the problem. Luckily I had the huge electrical manual with all the electrical diagrams to help with diagnosis.

(2) Left rear light (upper & lower) modules were dimmer than the right modules. Changed out light bulb without any success. Did a voltage check which showed less than 12 volts with engine off or running. Removed light harnesses and did a continuity check with test battery. Had good continuity and no voltage drop. Started checking down line wiring harness and found some corrosion in a coupler. Cleaned coupler and added some electrical lube and reassembled harnesses. Problem fixed.

Hope this might help someone else with their problems.

P.S. One of the joysticks on my Aladdin Monitoring System went back. Searched everywhere for a new or used one without any results. Kept checking Ebay and salvage yards for months and one early morning found one in Florida. It was used and $300 but I jumped on it like a frog on a june bug, installed it and works like new. Very lucky to find one.

You might check NW RV supply. I bought a spare joystick from them a while back. You might check to see if they still have them in stock. Just a thought. Hope this may help. Happy Trails Bert

Bert...as I said in my post, I found one on Ebay and it works great. NW RV did not have any. Thanks
