I recently purchased an International 7400 with Allison 3000 transmission. I was driving and "Electrical Fault" error popped up on the dash and the truck significantly reduced power. When I pulled over and parked the truck, the gear display went blank and would not go back into gear. Once I turned the truck off, it would not start again. Mechanic came out and found 2 blown 20 amp fuses in the battery box, replaced them and everything was back to normal. I got in the truck today and it wouldn't start again. Mechanic suggested I put 30 amp fuses in and the truck fired right up again but after about an hour, those fuses blew also and the truck shut down. I'm waiting on the mechanic to do a more in depth inspection of the electrical system. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this and how was it fixed?

I had a wire rubbed bare on it that periodically shorted to the frame on my 96 9200.
liquid electrical tape after a #10 wire splice and fresh wire loom fixed me up.OlegMel Thanks this. -
Ok, thanks. -
I will take a look at that. Thanks -
Problem resolved! Thanks!!Heavyd, davidc742, QUALITYTRUCK and 1 other person Thank this. -
Somebody says put a larger fuse in as a fix, just assume they're incompetent at electrical and stop listening. Could cost you a truck.
IH Truck Guy and Heavyd Thank this. -
I agree…he was under the truck the first day this happened, so I don’t understand how he didn’t see the wire harness laying on the leaf spring. As soon I got under the truck I saw it. I definitely will not call him for electrical problems again.
