I have a problem with a w900l
When the truck is running I can turn on all the lights no problem however when I have the lights on and turn on the blower in the front on within a few seconds the truck will start shuting down and lose all power
Just run lights no problem
Just have the blower no problem
97 w900l

Check the back side of fuse panel for corrosion. Seen one when you turn on a/c,the trailer lights would go out.

That's my next step I have check the wiring harness through the fire wall no corrosion it's a over load on a circuit just need to trace it down hoping some one can point me in the direction I have not thought of thanks

Engine shutting down? What engine? Put a multimeter on your batteries and alternator and see what your voltage is. If your alternator is weak or the wiring has corrosion, you'll have lower voltage and that could cause the fuel solenoid to start "chattering" which basically means rapidly opening/closing. That will starve your engine of fuel and shut it down. May or may not be your issue but its something I have run across in the past.

The engine is a 3406e I have check the voltage drop at the alternator had no drop in voltage when truck starts to shut down
When the blower and light are on
And the truck starts to shut down I can turn off lights or the blower and it will regain power and run fine have no problem when just running lights or blower buy themselves only starts to shut down when both are being used -
Did you check at the batteries and starter as well?
-
No not at starter battery's check yes
-
Check out the circuit breakers in the battery box.
