I've got a 2005 Vision with no audible alarm in the dash at all. It does not sound at all when the bus ignition is cycled to the on position, does not sound with turn signals, and has no audible alarm on the low air pressure, low air light does come on though. Gonna try swapping master gauge and slave gauge from another bus, but if anyone else has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thanks.

ive had drivers unplug alarms during their pretrips because they dont want to hear them. trouble is they often forget to plug them back in. im thinking about installing some kind of light taser device under the dash and in the side electrical panel to keep their handd out of there.

2005...was that the Actia gauge era for the Vision? If so, the speaker on the back of the speedo/master gauge is blown. Somebody here once mentioned digging the speaker out and and installing a replacement. I usually just buy a new speedo head and am done with it.

Thomasbus24 hit the nail on the head. Swapped gauges from another bus and things are good. Swapped gauge in question into other bus, problem followed. New gauge is on the way. Thanks for the input.

Lucky you. I seem to lose one a year.

At least they got somewhat smart and made it a remot, replaceable speaker after a few years.

But hey, you can roll back the odometer about 100,000 miles when you set the new master gauge! **Wonders how often that happens**

New question: I replaced the master gauge, and now my ABS light is staying on. Bendix software shows no codes, Vision manual is stating the the ABS ECU is not communicating with the engine ECM. Any ideas??

The only programming it let me do was the odometer. I have been through every other option on the menu and there is no option for doing this, unless I'm missing something somewhere.
