Roehl Driver Check In

Well I might have a sensor wrong on my fifth wheel for my lock/unlock wrote it up took maintenance 6 hours to tell me they can't do anything will gave to go to dealer and that they make sure it's locked properly. I new it was locked but incase the sensor was right I didn't trust it. So they said its ok just to set up a time to get to a international dealer so as I head to Iowa for my pick up it flashes and make a sound like your blinkers on soooo annoying then stops and starts again its stop when I parked so now I'm in Iowa on 80 at the pilot jn atalissa x 265.

Yeah the 2011 prostar I drove did that. Annoying as heck. My '13 doesn't do it though.

Get use to it. I have had mine repaired 3 times. Replaced sensors twice and the control box once. Starting to act up again so I might be in for a 4th repair.

 

Sitting in Hesston, KS for a reset and 2 days of layover. Hopefully an OD on Monday to make up for it.

FYI.... Heard on the radio that CAT is closing a plant in Southern Minnesota and transfering the work to Prentice and Georgia. I.E. Owatonna is probably shutting down and no more loads out of there. Didn't say a time frame, but probably sometime next year.

 

The should locate the box and sensor on the frame somewhere not on the fifth wheel itself. My box is right under the plate and sensor right next to the jaw. I've had the sensor and box replaced. My last pm in Marshfield it went to the dealer but wasn't fixed. Had it looked and went to dealer in ellenwood also without getting fixed. Also in Appleton had the sensor replaced which threw the code for the box and went to the dealer without gettin fixed. My blower motor for cab ac is out but probably get that done when I get home. On vent it supplies ac and heat good enough and if I'm north no really need for it anyway. Just when in fl I need the ac pretty much at all times. Ill get it looked at yet again when I go back home for the holiday. Good thing is the sensor hasn't messed up since it got fixed so that makes me happy.
