Post by: Dave5Cs on February 18, 2022, 01:52:48 PM
Has anyone seen these dash warning lights and if so what do they say and where could he get some new ones if he had to.

I don't know what they're labeled but if you zoom in on them you can see 5 of them.

They look like aircraft back lit indicator/warning lights. The biggest problem is getting the correct labeling...

I've used those warning indicators on two of my prior coaches.  You can obtain them at Instrument Sales and Service in Portland 800-442-0863. There are quite a few common ones (ie brake, cruise, stop, a/c, etc.) in amber or red and they also have custom ones per your order.  They are nice little units.  The last batch I ordered was around 2013 and they were 9.00 ea.

To expand on what Mark said, the MC-5C used the same dashboard as the MC-8s and -9s, so there's an excellent possibility that those are wired to match the OEM idiot lights.  Thus if you can find a 5C, -8 or -9 Operator's Manual, the layout of the factory idiot lights is shown in the front portion of the book where it's describing the dashboard.

FWIW & HTH. . .  ;)
