    You must look behind where the drivers door closes, on the space in sleeper in ft. of storage box and behind the drivers seat, some are on pass. side but in 03 I think its still behind driver seat, get a screw driver and pop open the plastic door to find breaker panel, pull all the breakers to see if you find green corr. on them?

    Hello, I have a 2005 Freightliner Columbia with a c15 Acert engine 10 spd. My cluster will not sweep have tested the power and continuity all through cab check for broken and loose wires found none. Check fuses all them working condition.truck has been rewired before to what extent I’m not sure. But reading another post on here said there maybe another fuse panel besides the one in the passenger dashboard. NEED HELP!!

    Take it to a CAT shop unless you are a wire chasing pro.

    But I have new small issue I have come upon . My cruise control is working but engine brake is not . Had the switch looked at make there is power and not faulty what variables could it be ?? I thought maybe clutch switch but not sure I could use some old school knowledge on this one. Plz if you have no knowledge or just looking to make me feel dumb DONT I IM A ITT GRAD IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY I WILL HACK YOU IP ADDRESS OR PHONE AND PULL UP ON YOU LOOKING FOR THE SMOKE.
