Got a 2014 Volvo 730 that im being told by the dealer that so far the batteries, ECM, and all modules so far. I must say this is all new to me never had anything hit by lightning. Does anyone know what other things this could of damaged on the truck. I told them to make sure the APU is tested also. Is there a check list of things to check in a lightning strike truck?

All ECU's, all. Seen it many times. You and your insurance company need to understand, and have the repairing shop put on paper, that failures can occur at a later date that we're caused by the lightning.

I have repaired a Gm pickup that was struck by lightning. Every single module, lightbulb, wiper motor, and a few of the sensors with chips in them. This was for a private fleet. Any where else it would have been written off.
That's the direction I'd be pushing for.spsauerland, Magoo1968, p608 and 4 others Thank this. -

Not from lightning but hitting power lines I've heard of wheel seals and even bearings going bad.

We had lightning hit our control van on a frack site. 4 days down and lots of $$$$$$ to fix that one.

Plan on replacing anything electrical at some point. Even harnesses get charred.
