    Sounds like you have more than one problem. One thing you can try is to cold boot the body controller computer. To do this simply disconnect battery power to the cab for about 5 mins then reconnect and retest.

    Try what Heavyd said before you do anything else.

    It works for lots of these malfunctions, and not just on International, it doesn't hurt, and costs only a little time.

    Weird things happen. I don't see why the key on or off should matter if that was the case, but anyway I am glad you got it to work!
