    This is from 'justanswers'

    There is a fuse panel directly under the glove box, you have to take the 4 torx screws out of the glove box, and remove the glove box, you will see the fuse panel there.



    There should be a fused marked CB or CB radio.

    Wonderful Day TODAY ....drove more miles today than the previous 3 days combined. Sunday tcalled a load in Wilmer to put trk in shop. Tried to put trk in shop for B service, change out tire, and replace front windshield. Was told that unless that was my terminal and was going home that they were NOT accepting trks for B service, I said ok, what about windshield, the window guy wont be in until Mon, ok, what about changing out this tire....we are backed up maybe Mon.... SOB. So I run a local del Mon... come back and about 2230 Mon tire and windshield is done. Tues I head over to the Dallas TA and get a B service done by late afternoon...No Freight until Wed morning. (I kept everybody in the loop on the QC, BUT as usual with information flow at the plantation my fuel card was turned off when I tried to get fuel this morning)

    Finally I can talk on the radio,
    Not much freight in PA, I run 300 miles and dropped and the next load picks up 20 some hours later, at least it's a 1,550 miler for Friday morning.
    And I'm at a favorite truckstop.

    Sent a message I was down to 5 hours and wouldn't pick up more until Wednesday. Get a pp for Social Circle to Miami with enough time to make it if I run graveyard shift. After I accept, it's changed to a Tcall at the Jacksonville rail yard with a time I can't make. After that gets canceled I get a 2100 mile pp that I also can't make. Starting to think they're messing with me.

    I think I just by the log update, not that it matters.
    Going from the MCP 200 to this MCP 100, that is so slow,
    It's like going from an iPhone to a piece of slate, I rarely edit, or do the 15 and 30 minute tricks, because it takes forever tis witch screens.
    And I can't look at it and tell how much time I have left, unless I park and ....
