    2013 freightliner Coronado 132 Hey guys I’ve got a problem it’s got me stumped. Ok when I turn my headlights on I have headlights but no maker lights come on. Now when I hit the switch to turn only the maker lights on then they will come on all of them. I have replaced the headlight switch an still I have the same problem. Any thoughts?

    Cab controller.

    Have you tried turning off the main disconnect switch for about 5 minutes to allow it to recycle?

    Could the interrupter cause this problem?
