You don't have where you are from so can't answer directly. But in California yes you need them. Clearance lights designate both large vehicles, slow moving vehicles, the fact that you may have a trailer, etc. Heck, how do you tell the driver that you just passed, thanks.

On my last coach half of them were burned out or didn't work for some reason. I just shined them on as the lenses were siliconed to the roof

First check one of the lights with a test light to see if you are getting power. To do so if they are sealed in you will probably break one in testing so get a replacement or you may be able to get to the wiring from inside motor home. I would also test your headlight switch if you have no power to the clerance lights.

We had some of the cheap ones cracking and getting mildew inside so changed the frots to LED ones from I 75 Chrome Shop at Wildwood FL. They cost about $8 each but last virtually forever. Be sure to seal arround them when installing.

ICC switch in off position??

Dsouthw524 · 10-11-2005, 07:27 AM

I think Hitchhiker has hit the solution. Many coaches are wired so that you can blink the clearance lights seperatly to provide a way of providing signals to other trucks and RVs as to when they are clear and to thank them for letting you know it is clear to come into the lane. I would look for a seperate switch before tearing everything apart. Maybe it is even identified in the owners manual!

Had monaco fax wireing diagram ,also found plate light & towing makers out, all of these are connected in rear by hitch,will try jumping from rear maker,spent 8 hours today looking at everything,no Icc switch, wish it was that simple, at least now i know. Thanks, Vinny

Any ICC switch that I've ever seen is momentary - I'd keep back tracking- sounds like you source is bad - fuse, maybe? Or perhaps a bad connection at the light switch?

AMAZING...another thing that QA at the factory or PDI person at dealer did not checkout...

and the industry brags about quality...ha!

I still chuckle about the 'ultimate wiring problem' (only because it was not my unit). Seems the wind sensors on the automatic awning were wired wrong, and caused the awning to EXTEND when the wind blew. They discovered this while driving away from the factory at 35 MPH...
