I had a few lamps out when I bought my '01. Buddy Gregg replaced the entire assembly at their cost! It seemed like killing a fly with a sledgehammer to me, but they said it was the only option.

Sorry, Jim.
Although I have the identical dash, I've never had the need (or the courage) to try to dismantle it.
Hope you make out OK....

I think JDub replaced some dash lights.

Do a search. I think JDUB posted the ordeal on the forum. As I remember it was not fun.
Perhaps a simpler and more easily serviced answer would be to use a miner's helmet while driving at night.

I in fact did change out some dash lights. However, the Marathon has an access panel right behind the instrument cluster to facilitate the change. But you will need the special Prevost light bulb remover widget to get them out.
And I in fact cheated the system and changed mine while we had the windshield out, so it was super easy. Even a Country Coach guy could do it. I mean caveman......
Jerry, glad you had so much fun with yours. I should have been more specific . . . the lights that are out are some of the telltale lights. Prevost doesn't know how to change them. Troy at Liberty said they couldn't be changed because they are LEDs. Barring some faulty electrical connection, the entire module has to be replaced just like Buddy Gregg did for John B.
I've ordered a parts DVD from Prevost for the XL2 (that's the dash I have in an XL). Might need a wiring diagram for that area. I'll fool with it sometime.

Does anyone know where or who sells rebuilt or repairs dash clusters for Prevost. I was quoted 3500+ for a new cluster. My unit in the 2001 Marathon is acting up. May have to replace it since everything else has been replaced in the back end. My turbo kicks out occasionally when the tach and speedo start jumping around. Yesterday I drove 150 miles before the turbo dropped out. After about 50 miles it kicked back in and stayed in. The technicians working on the coach think the dash cluster maybe at fault with some feedback messing up the turbo. I posted several months ago about the dash lights going dark. Now I am driving in the dark.
Any help or leads is appreciated.
