    Posted this in the wrong thread earlier:
    Has anyone ever asked this question? I can't find any answers on the entire world wide web.
    If a Freightliner Cascadia doesn't currently have a kill switch, can one be installed? and what does it take to accomplish that?
    I have one truck that has a kill switch and the one I just bought doesn't have one. The switch on the older truck was acting up so we changed the switch, the PDNB module and the harness that connects them. Fixed the problem.
    So what does it take to install a kill switch on a truck that never had it from the beginning?
    Thanks

    Nothing really your just going to put in line along the main line from the battery to be a disconnect between the circuit.

    You need pndb with battery disconnect feature, kill switch and harness that goes from kill switch to pndb, 4 screws... two hours to install it. you will need a hole saw to install kill switch...
    Or you can just install good quality Littlefuse branded mechanical disconnect switch on cable that goes from battery to pndb. in this case you will need to make two battery cables..
