I looked through your entire manual and didn’t find a thing about the instrument dash.

https://www.winnebago.com/Files/File.../08Horizon.pdf

On my Intent, there’s a switch that I can select various display results, such as Engine Hours, Trip Mike’s, Total Miles, Engine Temperature, Oil Level etc. See if yiu can find one like that?

Doesn't display any kind of miles, such as trip mileage? Just a blank spot where the mileage should display when the ignition switch is on?

Doesn't display any numbers for mileage with the key on and/or the lights on...My old (2007 Journey) showed the mileage when I had the headlamp switch on park lights and the ignition switch on.

I'm guessing something in your speedometer display area or dashboard display area is broke. Sorry, kind of stating the obvious.

I would think the Horizon has the same kind of engine computer display that is down near the ignition switch. The one that will show the engine temp, oil pressure, etc. On my 2006 Journey it can also display the two trip meters as well as the total mileage. Can you display the mileage using that display? If so then the engine computer has the mileage in memory, but can't display it on the dash board for whatever reason.

By the way, this would be a problem that I would take to a place that works on freightliner chassis and not a RV place.

Or maybe just live w/o having the mileage displayed at the speedometer.

Anyone know how to get the mileage to show up on the instrument panel on my 2008 Horizon (Itasca) DP? I know on my 2007 Journey DP the mileage would show up with the headlamp switch on park lights and the ignition switch on.

Sounds too simple but did you ...

Sounds too simple but did you try your dimmer knob? I can’t test it right now but on my instrument panel there is a dimmer knob sticking out. Push to change display and turn L or R to dim. Maybe it’s dimmed so far it’s not turned on?

I don't have the same model or chassis, but when I wanted to figure out such a question with mine, I had to look in the book that came with it that was for the chassis, not the Winnie manual. Is that where you're looking for it?

On my left side, there is a knob that can toggle various display options on the dash, miles, mpg, engine temp, transmission temp, all sorts of things. You need to figure out how to toggle that switch for the display.

If absolutely nothing is displayed, then you have a broken display that needs work.
