    From experience I suggest Always bring the slides in when you are gone . It only takes a min to bring in or out and then you don't have to worry about the awnings and same for the outside awnings . A lot cheaper than having to replace to bring in

    The ABS light (nothing to do with any filter on the system) can be triggered by a number of different things.  One of the more common is that a wheel sensor has excessive gap to the tone ring, rust, etc.

    So, even before taking it in for diagnostics, if you do any of your own work, may be worth pulling each wheel sensor and cleaning it.  On the ABS system on our 2003, only tool needed is a pair of pliers.

    Thanks Brett ,

    What the light says ABS FLT which I assumed it was a filter . Of course you know what Assume means . Maybe one day I'll learn

    Here is a set of wiring diagrams. They are for a 04 but should be pretty close.

    I would start by checking all the conections. Sometimes these faults clear after driving for a while. Your brakes should work just fine but won't have the ABS feature.

    Let us know what you find.Bill

     

    Bill ,

    I think this  happened before when after sitting for a month at the body shop I pulled it forward pressing the brake several times ,the system reset itself . I am going to try that and see what happens will keep you informed

    Is the warning light for an ABS Filter or for the Antilock Brake System?  An ABS filter is made of ABS plastic material and used to eliminate odor from a standpipe, etc.  If the warning light is on the dash, it might be for the Antilock Brake System.

    It's for the Brake System just don't know where to start

    One thing I haven't noticed from anyone is the thermostat . I have an 03 Dutch Star and just changed to the heat pump system . I had to change to a 10 button thermostat ( Black) required for the new heat pump AC's also the dip switches were needed to be set on the control board #3 from the bottom was the furnace and #4 was for the heat pump switch everything worked fine after that . Don't know if that will help but just my 2 cents worth

    Mike,

    Are you in the campground just south and to the west of the road from South Fork? Kinda looks like a nice peaceful valley.

    If so how is it?

    You coming to Six-State????

     

    Herman

    We took 149 out of South Fork 21 miles to Creed then about 3 miles to the south to Mountain Views Resort. which has large sites on the RV Park side I don't think anybody would have any complaints about the views and the weather is gorgeous .30's at night and 60's during the day'

    No momma didn't want to go to six state this year . I wanted to but momma said no  LOL

    I have the Spartan Chassis. Wouldn't the Gauge at least show some kind of reading? The coolant level shows to be OK the only thing working is the red warning light.

    How do I check the level in the Radiator other than the sight glass on the tank above the engine? As you can guess I'm at a loss where to check next.

    I did remove the gauge panel on the dash and everything was attached. The only work on the electrical system was the brake lights to work.

    Just got My 2003 Dutch Star out of the body shop and the water temperature gauge is not registering . It has a 350 Cummins and the warning light is flashing. I checked the wires as far as the radiator tank sensor. It has good connections so I don't know where to start.

     

    Regards

    We purchased a Newmar Dutch Star used almost two years ago and I must say we have never regretted our purchase . The quality and workmanship are the best of any coach we've owned also the factory support is the best in the US . We had a American Eagle and it wasn't near the coach the Newmar coaches are, That's my humble opinion ,

    Good luck on any coach you buy .
