I’ve had loose battery cable connections but that only dragged the starter at start up. Could be a loose battery cable somewhere also, like by the starter……. I would chase down the cable connection ends. Also, my current truck sometimes won’t kick over, I’ll cycle the key, but doesn’t kick over, so I’ll cycle the key again maybe once or twice then it kicks over. I’m still trying to figure that issue out.

Thanks. I'll check on that tomorrow. The wind is pitching a ##### here in Vegas and I've already lost power at home twice. I park basically in the desert, so I'll take today off. Not keen on putting up with the sand storm. You have an old Freightliner also, correct?

Heck no. Never cared for them. Was only sharing my experiences throughout my 44 years in the industry.

I was driving a 2016. Lost power derated. Turned it off, tried to start, blown ecm fuse. Still had dash lights. Change fuse, idled to dealer. They Changed a module in the center of dash. $1400 part. Anyway the fuses were under the hood, below the steering shaft.

So I found the problem. It was a simple blown fuse in the main PDM. I could have sworn I checked all of the fuses on the first day. Oh well...
