LP LED inside doesn't work 2012 Sightseer 33C

Hello
Are there any known issues with the LP indicator inside? How would I fix it? Can I add a dial guage to the tank?
Thanks

They aren't wildly accurate. There is a dial on the tank that you can read if you open the compartment. If the inside LEDs aren't working at all I would suspect a loose wire somewhere, either on the outside gauge or behind the panel.

there is no dial gauge on the tank itself. It doesn't look like there ever was one. Previous owner change something?

Interactive parts drawings here:
https://catalog3d.winnebagoind.com/menu/Parts.htm
They don't show one as built!


But when looking at drawings, I also see no sign of an LED for the propane???
That brings the question of changes/mods or different build?
Do you have the "one place monitor" as show on this drawing or something different?

I'm probably using the wrong verbiage, the LED I'm referring to is the monitors inside the rig that shows the battery levels, water levels, etc.........

That's a first for me! I have 2 motorhomes and both have an external gauge that has wires that lead to the internal indicators.

Something similar to this.

I agree with #2 reply. Remove the level indicator panel and inspect the back for a small fuse. While it's out test for voltage. Do the other 3 level gauges work?

No problem on what to call it and you may totally be correct in it being an LED. I might call it a backlight but this communications stuff is harder than it looks!

I had to take a break for a big football party but looking closer now, I might think you are walking into a really hard item with some integrated circuits ( chips?) involved that will make it really hard?
One small bit of info that might be checked if you get the panel out to a point you can look is part of this drawing I posted above.
Click the snip to see better but it seems to show battery and ground for the LP reading that might be checked if you can locate that plug?

Then finding where the power should come from may be a second deal to work on?
