    Hello everyone!

    I need your help to figure this one out. I have a 2023 Freightliner Cascadia, when I put the left turn signal it starts clicking fast and when its connected to any trailer it doesn't work, the light is on, but there is no flashing when activating the left turn signal.

    I already tested the 7way connector on the back of the cab and I know for sure its an issue with the truck. We changed the SAM chassis, it got fixed but now it stop working again.

    Has any of this happened to any of you guys? Thanks!

    You may want to do some voltage drop testing on the ground path to the sSam. Path is battery to Mega Ground Junction Block (MGJB) to outside ground frontwall pass-through-stud to the Inside Ground Frontwall Pass through stud to the sSam. After, testing you may find that cleaning & tightening the connections points where you have the biggest voltage drop beneficial. I have seen some trucks where the red enamel cable sealer was put on cables ends before final assembly, rather than after final assembly and was creating high resistance. Please update us with your results.
