    I got call from freightliner in indianapolis, they said they spent 4 hours and couldnt find anythyng. And there is no any warranty if engine will shutdown again. So they just take money for doing nothing...and this called "freightliner" dealer..

    That's the freightliner dealership for you...they just learn as they go and charge you for it...I wish you typed this on the forums before taking it to them. The one down in houston here is even worse. I had to actually show one of the tech how to do their job...I'm just glad I do most of my own work

    Maybe I have to take off main cables from batteries to starter..the connections are clean at the ends, but is it possible corrosion somewhere in the middle of cable?

    Key off ABS works fine?? That doesn't make sense?

    Running, are there any other warning signs like a trailer ABS light on the trailer or instrument panel? If no warning lights then make sure key on that you have power on the center pin (pin 7) of you pigtail connector. No power, check the fuse.

    I would double check your brake adjustment.

    Check your ECU line from ecu to battery. Something similar happened to me this week……..when you turn your key and and let all your gauges cycle, check to see if your check engine/stop engine light comes on and cycles…..if it does not, its ecu related….the wire, or ecu itself…..

    I have no dash Icons on. The abs light on the trailer comes on for about a second or two when I apply the brakes then it goes out with the key off, I can roll and the wheels do not lock. When the key is on I repeat the process and drag my tires. (pin 7) has power to it with the key on. All my lights come on then go out after engine is started like they should. I am thinking about disconnecting the wire to pin 7. If anyone has any other ideas please let me know. Thanks, Jeff
