    Pics or didn't happen. You're lucky the truck didn't burn down! I've talked about this before previously. A driver was driving a Columbia down the road when every light came on brighter than halogen followed by the dash in flames. Please describe in detail what happened, I'm not sure if there was ever a recall on this. I heard that water can leak through the wind shield and eventually damaged/short the PDM. Thanks, and I'm sorry to hear about the fire. Glad you're okay and be thankful the truck did not burn to the ground.

    I'm home now for Chrismas holidays, truck in Russia, so I cant post pictures, camera was frozen.... Driver installed addtional light and used wring fuse. I have PDM from '99 Freightliner, this one is 2002 (not sure) and as I can see PDM units differ a bit. So I look for correct diagram by VIN.

    I will post you pics later...

    Any luck on a wire diagram or posting pictures? Any idea why the PDM caught fire? I know it was fused circuit he added, but that doesn't sound like it would cause a fire...
