I think that is for a Kysor shut-down system and your high temp light. I was thinking it was two pole, but obviously I was wrong. Does your dash have a spring loaded switch that says overide? One of ours has that.

This is gonna make y’all grin. I got a leaking steer wheel seal, front drive line out put seal and real drive in put seal a leaking. Engine fan isn’t coming on automatically. Can’t seem to get the jakes to work and old baw I bought it off of says, “I’ve had to fiddle with the hand throttle several times to get it to work”, amp gauge and dash lights. Dang, I know it!! You baws hang with me please. This da gone thread might outlast ol’ Biden.Oxbow Thanks this. -
The 2 wire sending unit next to the temp sending unit is your fan switch. The 3 wire sure looks like an override switch.
mile marker 27 and Oxbow Thank this. -
I suppose the wiring has been adapted over the years, but one thing that has really helped me out is getting schematics for all the wiring from Peterbilt. My dealer is willing to email me the pdf s. Being able to know what a labeled wire is supposed to do has been very helpful.
On my trucks the air solenoid for the fan is mounted on the firewall. You should be able to cross the two poles on the fan sender to help trouble shoot it. I'll be happy to send photos of anything on mine if it helps.mile marker 27 and wore out Thank this. -
Oxbow Thanks this.

I’m going to Peterbilt today and see about a wiring schematic. I guess this gas filled coolant sensor and gauge combination are bad. There’s really nothing electronic about it aside from the light in the gauge? I’ll probably pick up another cab power relay.
-
Since I have some intermittent things not getting power in the cab, is the cab power relay responsible for ALL dash functions and dash lights?
Oxbow Thanks this. -
mile marker 27 Thanks this.

Got another relay that goes behind the left dash panel. Installed but no change in amp gauge or dash lights. It was so darn cold, with the truck sitting out, I didn’t try starting it. With one wire(+) coming from the alternator, I assume it’s going down the battery post on the start the starter solenoid, with voltage read from that area?

As far as relation, engine(4mg 3406B), is not the original engine. The guy at Pete said and I forget, that the truck had an earlier model 3406B. I guess it doesn’t matter which style of coolant temp sensor I go with, just as long as I go with the complete set up. He did tell me and I think you guys pointed this out already for the other style gauge, “Don’t get this temp sensor from International. They require a different OHM and won’t work”. Of course that’s if I go with the electric gauge.
wore out Thanks this.
