    Hopefully quick and easy one. Wiring should be standard across brands etc., but for clarity, the truck in question is a 2015 FL Coronado, factory Coronado (not glider).
    In the diagram, the black wire is marker clearance, and the brown is tail. On other trucks with the "intermittent" switch, the black wire is intermittent to flash your markers in reply. For some reason, this Coronado has both the black and brown doing the intermittent action.
    Is this a common thing with Freightliner, or has someone made a shadetree hack that I need to find?

    A lot of FL’s were wired like that. Flash the whole trailer instead of markers. See if you are able to split the two at the interrupt switch. If both wires come out of that it may be just a simple thing to disconnect brown circuit and run back to main light switch. I know way back when White was building FL’s they had an option that had a separate switch on dash just for trailer lights. Marked “trailer lamps” It would shut off all the lights. Pete and Kw were the only ones I knew that had the markers aka “icc lights” and running lights separated.

    Fixed it. Pictures did not turn out, so I drew up this. Pull the delphi connector from the back of the switch, and while looking at the connector from the switch interface, the lower left and center right wires needed to be jumpered together bypassing the switch. Works as it should now.
