    2016 Western Star 4700 daycab... Yeah the guages all go dead, sometimes half go dead, sometimes only 1 or 2... No patterns of failure I can grasp... The one thing that seems constant is the tractor abs lite will flash a few times before everything goes dead (and def red light flashes during guages out)... Have replaced abs cab module ("brake control module?") because my favorite shop found it to "definitely be bad".... Also replaced cab control module and that seemed to fix the prob for a couple weeks... Fighting with this prob for about a year now.. Also, the engine faults have been all over the place... I have a code reset tool and just reset it while driving lately... Sometimes it wont reset but always runs fine... Cruise always works... Odometer and hour meter went crazy... Yes ive been checking and cleaning grounds: cab firewall buss, frame, batteries...
