    gauges and lights wont turn on. i rebooted the computer but still nothing. fuses all work, but still got nothing. traced lines and harnesses but nothing. where should i look to see if there's continuity or test for power source. i dont know how the wires are routed or where they lead too. if the computers broken would the dash lights work

    I have seen issues like this before where it was the icu/cecu that had failed. it is located behind the center cup holder. you can test one of the plugs for power and ground (the one on the end, 9 pin I think) if when you pull the fuses to do a reset and nothing happens, it sounds like the cecu failed. have replaced these just for no dash light issue before. they are pricey, around $1200 here.

    Check all your grounds first start at the batteries to frame, frame to cab, cab to dash. the '07's are mostly fiberglass/plastic, on my '05 T-600 the only thing my electronic gauges and dash lights have in common is the ground.

    You can check the relay located on fuse panel
    Dont know the label. It has something to do with the ign
    mine went bad on me and it had same symptoms as yours

    I have a 2000 t600 and every now and then my interior cab lights are dull and when I use 2 way radio it won’t work like it’s lacking power. If I turn ac, radio and any other accessories of it works fine. Could any one help me with what the problem could be please

    2000 would be pre-electronic dash so I'm guessing you've probably got a cab ground issue. There's probably a ground strap or ground cable between the cab and frame that is loose or corroded up. No idea where it would be located though.
