Problems with trucks after safety tech install

Why? On God's green earth would you voluntarily put that crap in your trucks? HUGE discount from your insurance scammer?

Maybe if you could decribe these 'electrical' problems in greater detail, someone could help.

 

From what I have seen of the mobile eye (2014 installation), it is the least intrusive installation of all the 'save driver from himself' BS, with just a sensor in the windshield and a cable running to the processor located behind the dash and power to that. Should be fairly easy to fix if it was caused by the installation.

 

Many times, systems like these are not installed properly or not connecting to powers, ground and datalinks at the proper locations and cause issues like this. Everyone wants everything done as cheaply and quick as possible and the installation quality isn't there either. Wiring connections are cheap and can get severed. Connector are not properly sealed against water intrusion and end up corroded.

 

I would discard that technology. over complicating the wiring etc and easier to simply watch your truck shut off.

I don't want to present a position that I am against that technology, but that is one of the most basic tasks of a professional driver. It would be a unnecessary complication, expense and so forth with good drivers. A example of why we risk paying servitude to the machine rather than making the machine serve us well.

Explore other insurance options that don't require over complicating with installations of technology that is not built into your tractors in the factory. These things never go well. No wonder that alternator cooked. It's well that it did because something else might have cooked.

Wiring those things are incredibly intense. I don't even want to know what goes into a harness between the engine and tractor's dash board anymore. This is not the old days where you had a old style fuse board in front of the passenger seat where you can pull the panel and discover very quickly what is burnt and what is not on the entire tractor. (Trailer is self explanatory on the 14 hole pigtail)

I actually put into practice what I preach, I intentionally drive older vehicles with very little computer technology in them. These modern vehicles with all the bells and whistles is BS to me. Unnecessary. If people are so lazy and to rely on them to drive, then they should not be drivers at all.

 

I know, now you start a tug of war between the installer defending his work and blaming the issues on the truck itself. You may need a dealer level technician to get involved that is good with wiring and electronics to see if the installer is to blame or not.
