Here’s my problem.: 2019 Western Star 5700xe and the tractor brake lights (trailer isn’t affected) won’t turn off. I’ve disconnected all 3 air switches to the left of the column with no luck. Pulled fuses and relays, none. Unbolted the firewall to chassis cable and they went out. Reconnected and they’re back on. Pulled the top plug on the ECC (lights went out) and the ECC has voltage on the pins. I’m guessing the ECC is bad, but I can’t find the complete wiring diagram for it on EZ Wiring. I guess it’s possible it’s through putting the brake signal from something else. Any ideas other than throwing a $750 ECC on?
Western Star 5700 ECC/stop/turn lights stay on

The body builder manuals are online somewhere, they had decent wiring diagrams, IIRC.
I had found them through Google, but it was for the 4900. I would assume they're available for the 5700.
You could always tap the truck taillights into the trailer circuit. Although that requires 4 taillights so you'll have turn and brake. I did that on my Carhauler, but if course that was much easier because both sets of circuits were right there at the tail already. -

Reefer's the same thing, goes up, goes down. Contract freight is still pretty good and steady.
Should be able to find it in there. Don't use it much unless the truck is out of warranty. Use a little more now because i can't get enough new ones
in the time frame i want. -
In case someone pulls up this thread 8 years from now looking for diagrams, here's the pin for the ECC.Attached Files:

Only contract out of FL is for two trucks that run from PA and back twice a week. That's product right back to the farm.
