Electrical issue with Newell Coach dash?

[qcj]

What is the best way to get behind the dash to check out a gauge. My outside temp. gauge was not working on my last trip. I would like to make sure that I don't have a loose connection. I have taken out the 4 screws but still tight. I don't want to force anything. It is a 99 model. Thanks Chappell

Watched newell pull up the dash behind my gagues on my 99..just pull it up and the clips release.. Pull from the top nearest the gagues not near the window.. It's one big piece..

Yachts did you happen to shoot any pictures of the repairs? They have always incouraged me to take a few shots. What was or is the problem with your dash?

Thanks Jack and Yachts. I did not know the top would come up. I will do it this morning. On my Foretravel the top would come off but did not know about the Newell. I will let you know what I found. Thanks Chappell

There are possibly one of three issues to your problem, either a loose wire which you will soon know, or a bad gauge or sending unit.

Took the top of the dash off and found a wire going to the temp. gauge laying there. Put it back on the the gauge worked. Thanks for all the help. I didn't know how the top came off and didn't want to force anything. Thanks again, Chappell
