Hi Coach Owners,

For those who would like a bright indicator to indicate when one of those barely lit indicators illuminate on the left side of the dash, this maybe for you. Please see the attached picture. The left (yellow) indicator lights when any of the following light: water in fuel, engine warn and engine maintenance. The right (red) indicator lights when any of the following light: wait to start, step entended, low front brake pressure, low rear brake pressure, stop engine and check transmission. I used super bright LEDs (8 & 10 candella) with a 680 ohm resistor to operate on 13.0 vdc, diodes to isolate each signal line and splice connectors (used to connect up tail light assemblies to trailer wiring) to connect to the wiring behind the dash indicators. Total cost was less than $20. For those interested, details can be provided from my email address.

I can see them alright but have a high frequency hearing loss and cannot for the life of me hear the beep on the turn signal when left on. Do you have a solution for that other than hearing aids.

Hi Fred

Looks like a good idea.

What additional details can you provide? Al

Hi John,

The turn signal beeper is behind the panel on the right front side of the dash in front of the passenger seat. You could relocate it closer to your side, perhaps strapped to the steering column, using #14 wires and appropiate terminal lugs.

Tks Fred, now that you mentioned it my wife hears the signal fine, could be because of it's current location. Will try your suggestion and see what happens.
tks
