    Sometimes our 387 when I go to start it no power in cab then later it starts. It cut off once as I was creeping to a stop another time I shut truck off about 20 minutes later no power in cab then a few minutes later it came back on. The first time this occurred was no power to cab after being parked overnight

    The truck has 4 electric modules. Each has its own fuse in the battery box.
    I replaced my starter cables one day. The next day, the trailer lights didn't work. Turned out I broke one wire at the connector. The fuses are located at the front of the battery box.
    The four main modules are: right side firewall in engine compartment, glove box, sleeper and trailer control box in frame rail under rear end of cab.
