Freightliner Cascadia Electrical Issue

I have a 2009 Cascadia. There was a recall on the SAM chassis. Might be worth talking to a dealer to see if that could be your problem.

 

that recall was probably the update to the sam chassis and cab programming. There is a water intrusion recall related to the sam chassis, but I dont think that is your problem. I have not done a whole lot with cascadias and electrical issues, but I know they will do some zaney stuff when things are askew. You need to have someone competent take a look at this truck unless there a really slick frieghtliner tech on here, you may be SOL

 

Sam cab not sam chassis. water is going to sam cab. check the windshield seals right bottom corner..

 

oh ya, the windshields tend to leak on the cascadia's a lot. Its a thing they do, witch is wierd. We get a random one every couple of months. Western Stars will have some wacky water leaks to.

 

Possibly could be clock spring.....

 

I have not had the pleasure of removing a cascadia steering wheel, but I am relatively certain these trucks do not have clock springs. That being said even if it did have a clock spring, the chances of it causing these particular problems would warrant a mega millions and power ball ticket purchase.

 

Two years ago they had a clock spring in the steering column that would fail and you would lose the function of the steering wheel buttons.
