mercer transportation

I have a short on my truck it's on the rear lights they get very dim n flicker but I can't see any issues with the wiring. It does it while sitting still anyone had this before?

 

Sounds like a bad ground, or corrosion in a wire to me.

 

I just bought some Yokohama's for my trailer and didn't use Mercer's price. The tire guy I use gives me fleet pricing instead of national. However, when I buy a set of drives, I do use Mercer's pricing and somewhere without sales tax.

I don't get a credit on my 17.5" trailer tires and the his price actually covers about 25% of the sales tax. Kind of worth it to do business local. When I do drives, tire credit alone makes it worth while going somewhere else and the guy I'd prefer to use understands that.

 

Absolutely correct and Landstar guys love talking overall gross numbers. Oh yeah, I get $4 a mile on everything I do. lol

 

Check your pigtail and the main trailer connector. Corrosion was a good answer and you may actually find it on the backside of the trailer connector.

 

Its on his truck. A completely different circuit.

@TruckerPete1990 back there its almost always the ground or that factory harness plug at the rear frame filler plate, that area catches a lot of spray off the road. Use a voltmeter to make sure you got good power at the harness plug. If so you got corrosion in the ground wire between that plug and the frame. Run a new ground wire.

 

Thank you ill check them 2moro

 

Woops! It's been a long couple weeks. Still tired.

 

Anyone here with a later model Cascadia wire beacons using the factory option switches?

I need to do this, but I'm curious where the factory wiring may be, if any, at the rear pigtail connector. My connector comes through the body, not underneath the body. Also, will the circuit need to be programmed/turned on with a scan tool?

 

Check under the back of sleeper inside the frame rails for the wires. If there are none there that aren’t connected or labeled then you switch might not be pre-wired.
