    I just removed air line from fan clutch, and when i turn on the engine there is no air coming from the air line. From what i know there should be air going if the engine is on, am i right? I got to check clutch solenoid now but i can't find it, can someone point me in a right direction on where can i find it?

    on a t2000 there is a fuse in fuse box labeled "engine fan"if fuse is good,fan solenoid is located under side of truck, on frame rail,passenger side,almost 1/2 way back.bad spot for electrical connections (water,salt,etc.)good luck.

    i checked fuse before opening the hood, Thanks for the info on location, Happy hunting to me, I should probably look for 2 air lines and one electric line?

    2 wires (ground and 12v battery).if you cycle key on/off,you should hear solenoid engage.little hard to hear on passenger under side.if you don't hear it,you have bad solenoid,no power or no ground.ground is the trigger from ecm.

    found solenoid!! It was located right in front of 2 air tanks, its right under lover step. Anyways,
    1. I started the engine
    2. I unplugged air line thats going toward fan clutch and the air is not blowing from the solenoid (out toward fan clutch)
    3. I checked the power connector thats connecting with solenoid power and there is power.

    So i guess the solenoid is bad, the power going toward it but the air is not coming out. Can you confirm my conclusion, also will freightliner solenoid fit, or should i just stick to original KW

    you need a "n/c"normally closed solenoid.almost all freightliners are normally closed just like yours.the plug for electrical may be different though.if it is just cut plug off of old one and splice on to new one.make sure you get positive/negative correct because freightliner colors are both white i believe.

    Did you check ground to see if ECM is grounding solenoid? Did you check to see if air is getting to the solenoid? Just something to check before spending $.
