cascadia won't start

Does it try to turn over any at all when it does this?
Do you have a cooler or anything that your leave running?

I've seen many starting problems especially on freightliners caused by the starter to frame ground not getting good contact at the frame.

 

I left Freightliner in 2007 not one truck had a clutch switch then they have 2 starter relays, one on the firewall upper left area, and the one on the starter.
If it cranks and does not start you want it connected to a laptop and scroll down till the srs sensor come up it must switch to yes to start, sensor is behind the air compressor, it switches to yes in the first revolution. You can not have any codes that have 155 incidents or it will not start, it is not suppose to do that but it does, I had one that had low water for 155 counts and it would not start, added coolant, and cleared the code, no more problems.
Just a thought!

 

does anyone know where to go if the truck is an automatic? plenty of power but no crank.can jump the starter and it will run

 

take hammer and hit the bottom of the starter few times. try starting again. be careful not to hit the plastic back area.

 

hit it with a hammer?....... a really big hammer!! lol if i jump the soliniod the truck will start. it just clicks the relays with the key switch

 

medium size would be ok.. your cascadia needs new starter.
