    I think just the yellow ones will blink for turn signals and 4 ways.

    Every once in a while you'd get one where the mechanic would wire in the tail light wire on the amber when they had to replace a plug, which technically is a DOT violation, but you hardly ever hear of anyone getting written up for rear facing amber lights.

    Anybody have a solution to the peoplenet can’t find gps thing? Started last night. Multiple resets including the little button in the back haven’t cured it and entering locations gets old real fast.

    Grab the wire that goes thru the dash and jiggle it in and out...plus push up on the plug that goes into the cradle. Mine's been randomly doing the same thing, along with totally disconnecting from the truck's ECM.

    Unfortunately didn’t cure it. Really hoping it works itself out, a trip to the shop is pretty much the last thing I want.

    Perhaps a call to Peoplenet. When I was at Moore, they had to walk me thru deleting and redownloading certain system files and company apps.

    A thought occured to me. I had something similar happen to one of my other Junk-liners. I killed the main power switch by the drivers seat, then left it off while I took a shower, then turned it on when I came back, and rebooted the PN, and everything came back. Except I had to call Lincoln to fix some mileage errors for the time when it was without signal.

    Doing the Walmart dedicated thing. Got a message that logs was insisting I log all my time at stores as “on duty not driving” because I’m required to be on the dock. With 2-5 stores per day (average probably 3) and about 45 minutes each, kind of throws a wrench in my clock.
     
    Bumper Thanks this.

    Well that stinks!
    I’ve always just logged 15 at each stop.
    I’ll quit before they make me do WM again!
