Yes. Getting "starter blocked shift to neutral" while driving in n 12th gear. 2020 dt12. Dropping out of gear. Eventually transmission completely disengaged. Towed to dealer. Unplugged pos Rand ELD. Problem gone. Anyone reading this if considering Rand ELD don't do it. They even lied said integrable with Project 44 just to make the sale. Now I got a hefty bill for tow and dealer service. I'd like to place a bat upside Rand McNally corps head.

Hopefully they made the right diagnosis.
There’s a harness on the left side of the motor that will do the same thing.

It's not the specific brand ELD, it's ANY ELD plugged into the diagnostic port. The diagnostic port is NOT meant for ELD's to be plugged in. It offers direct, unrestricted access to the truck's computer -- and even may void warranty (per Kenworth).

There's a secondary hookup that restricts direct, possibly interfering, access to the engine information that you should use for the ELD, which takes an adapter like the one below.

Yes sir the RP1226 port. It was removed by Schneider to install Platform Science eld. Only in the freight industry smh.
