    Not sure. Haven't worked on a bunch of T800's. Pull relays till it shuts down

    Kenworths.... Check battery box. Look under the hood?

    And may not look like your standard relay. May look more like a solenoid.

    Older KW's had constant power relays in the battery box. Can't remember if those were for ignition or not, and not sure if the newer 800's have them.

    Do these trucks have a shut down timer relay that could be stuck?

    Okay, thanks. I know it had an extended idle shut down timer but that had been turned off with a laptop at some point. Obviously I am just guessing at this point. Thanks to all yall with the experience that take the time to help us.
