    Have a 2000 Freightliner century when you turn the ignition off with the engine on the truck will continue to run unless you remove the breaker in the panel that is marked IGN 15 amp. After you remove this the truck shuts down. If you plug it back in with the truck not running the dash readout comes on and the gauges sweep.

    I had to hook the battery charger to it this morning with the breaker out and when I turned the charger on the ABS valves cycled (like when you switch the ignition on). Any thoughts? I tried the two relays on the bottom left and no change.
