I have recently developed a problem...my air brake light will stay on with the key out of the ignition...I had a problem about a year ago where it would stay on while driving. The truck was up to full pressure and everything worked good but it would just beep at me...now it doesnt stay on while driving but will beep when the truck is off and the key out of the ignition...
I have read there is a kick panal behind the pedals that i need to remove and check the switch back there...which i have a few days here until we start hauling beets again...
i also noticed when i shut the truck off the fuse panal buzzed for a bit when i shut it off then went off...
I also noticed right at the end of my last day of hauling for a while i had a very slight miss not to bad and maybe not even a miss but it just wasnt ideling "normaly" i kicked up the idle and it ran fine and no loss of power that i noticed
sorry for the long post but any help on any of this stuff would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks GOLDIE!!

Sounds like you might have a bad relay in your low air warning circuit.
Your engine miss should be accessed by a competent mechanic with the proper tooling to do so. -
Thank you very much for your reply!!! -
well i brought it home last night and have discovered i can get the air brake light to go off if i mess with the key...maybe i should put a new ignition switch in it???...im still not going to rule out that i wont need to fix the breaker or relay for it but i might also have that problem too???
-
Yeah, I would do the ignition switch first, might be all you need to do.
-
ok thanks i will give that a shot
