Title: 86GV dash tank monitors
Post by: my 86 gv on August 06, 2024, 05:40:57 pm
My 86gv dash monitor lights are inop. For awhile they were intermittent, like a loose ground and now nothing. Anyone know where the ground is or any other ideas? Getting coach ready to sell for we are downsizing.

86 Foretravels grounded to the coach frame. No separate green ground wire that later coaches had. They ran a ground wire to a piece of metal somewhere in  the dash. Exactly what connected to what I do not know.

There may be a ground stud under dash. Nearest to the left hinge.  I ran a ground wire from this stud , out the firewall and to a screw on the frame.
Things work better now.  But my tank sensors read almost full when full and kinda empty when empty .

Both of the studs are on a bus bar for ground . Green and white plus black , all may be ground .
