    Are there already other switches for marker interrupt and headlight interrupt? Idle shutdown override, maybe?

    Drove KW for 12 years. Great truck. But like anything in trucking it takes a few days to get used to the handling.
    As far as backing, I do a lot of blind side, probably above average because of where I deliver, but the fact is, no matter which way you back, G.O.A.L.
    Don't just assume everything is right. If you ever doubt yourself get out and look.
    Also, the biggest thing in making the backing easier, is how you set up.

    Process of elimination, I would guess that's it.

    I was grumbling earlier about one of my co-workers getting a new truck when it would take him 10 more years to wear his out.

    The button on the end of the stalk is the marker interrupt.

    Well, maybe you will get lucky. Maybe when he gets his new truck, you can have his old truck as your new truck......huh?

    Well, you would have to come along and spoil the mystery. I was going to tell him to stand in front of the truck where he could see the headlights, then push the button and see if anything happens. (His problem in figuring out how to push it while he's in front of the truck...):D
