Failed state inspection

[MapNerd]

@MapNerd, I told him I knew MapNerd. Didn't work, I ordered the parts

Not surprising. Doesn’t work when I tell them I am MapNerd, either. I usually tell them I’m MapWife’s husband. That seems to get things cleared up quickly.

@Neal if your level of pain is high enough you can sometimes figure out the part number via Newpar or whatever the system is called these days. I was able to figure out the part numbers for our coach. In the end though Newmar was significantly cheaper and eTrailer didn’t even stock it.

I tried searching comnet with no luck. That system is so lacking it seems. I always have to call or email which works fine too.

@Neal, go out and pull the lights out. It's should be very simple. Got to any of the local auto parts stores and get said lights. Probably a few dollars at best.

I remember when we had state inspections here - what a sham.

The marker light is in, license plate light comes tomorrow. I inspected all marker lights at night and THEY ALL WORK! The license tag light is the only failure. Grrrr, and I ordered 3 more marker lights today to have spares on hand. If you see me at a campground feel free to buy from the mobile Newmar parts department.

Anyways, here is what the marker light looks like.

And, it does appear to be installed with just silicone; correct?

That's my guess, if they drilled the hole just right then there is a flange on the round part. Fortunately (other than my blood pressure) all lights are working so I didn't have to replace any. I just need to replace the license plate light then drive 30 minutes back to reinspect.

Had the reinspection this morning, almost failed again. The "marker light" is not the light on the top but the corner light of the headlamp assembly. As some may remember I replaced/upgraded my Ventana headlights. I didn't have the plug on securely so I'm glad they did this in the lot where I could see there was a problem, popped open the hood and jiggled the plug, light came on, now I'll pull and reseat the plug but I passed and escaped.

Murphy was right! "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong; and, a the worst possible time!" Glad you "escaped."
