    have about 20 freightliners depending on the engine there is a wire from starter runs under the engine to fuse box above the left steer tire
    had to redo the wire in the harness to tell lvd that the alt is charging
    had to redo alot of oem wire harness the split loom rubs bare spots in the wiring

    I have the same problem. Where is the low voltage protection switch located? I can jump power over in the fuse box and get power to everything so it tells me the problem is before the fuse panel on the passengers side dash.

    Ok, I found it and it is flashing a red light. I have restarted the truck several times and still nothing. Is it possible that I have a bad battery/batteries?

    found the problem!!!

    up under the dash behind the blower, there was a in line 50 amp fuse!!!!
    feeding one of the power wires to the fuse box.

    the fuse was NOT on the wiring schematic from freight liner!!
    it is not visible!
    we removed the power wire from the wire wall and chased them, we knew one wire had a break, it did not have continuity from one end to the other.

    i believe the wire is marked on the schematic and on the wire it self (14 B)
     
    burdman_02 Thanks this.
