Title: Generator hours not showing
Post by: tedeboy on September 14, 2023, 12:51:45 pm
Just started my generator and noticed the hour meter is blank.

Where should I start?

ON EDIT

I get 14.3 VDC to the meter when the generator is on. I'm thinking the meter is bad.

Looks like they had a bad batch of meters.  A bunch of us 2021 owners have had this same issue.  I hope the replacement meter I got lasts longer than 3 years.  :-\

I had to also replace the hour meter in our 2021 RB.

Four out of the five 2021 LDs have had their hour meters fail, not a good sign.
Onan must have gone with the low-bid supplier.

I wish the generator itself had an hour meter on it also in addition to the panel. I don't recall the hours I had on it but I think it was in the 60s.

Add my 2021 hour meter to the list for the same reason. Thanks for the tip where to find the replacement which I did.

So far my 2021 hour meter is working fine so if my math is correct, that would be a 5 out of 7 failure rate.  Still not good 🙁

Agree, 5 out of 7 is terrible reliability.
I was under the impression that only five LDs were produced in 2021...  Mike, Linda, Ted, Mottleycru and JohnR. Do you know of other 2021 owners?

Well, Muhammad and SOCALENDOS both have 2021 MB’s… but actually I was going with your 4 out of 5 and adding Mike and me.

Well, I was told wrong, there appear to be seven and maybe eight 2021 LDs. It's a very exclusive club.

Darn, missed it by that much! I was on the list for a 2021 until I gave up my spot when Nocona turned up. Oh well, at least my hour meter works!  ;)

I know Colleen and Bob from Michigan have a 22MB.  Tery and Don from Alabama got the 2nd to the last 22 MB

And Sue with a 2021 MB started the other bad meter thread.  And Steve Diffenbacher with a 2021 TK found the meter source

For the 2021 owners, the meter failures could be a signal of what is to come!  So one of you should sell your LD to me before the dam breaks!!

HaHaHa!!  Only kidding!!

On a serious note, my generator meter went blank on my Phoenix Cruiser.  I could not find a replacement.  The problem I had was the wire connections were on the back of the meter.  There was not enough room behind the meter to reinstall the meter.  So make sure there is room for the new meter with the wire connections attached.

I wish I had your problem!! Have a great day everybody!!
