Why does my Freightliner chassis have no power?
Why does my Freightliner chassis have no power?
If no voltage shows you got bad ground, if you got voltage trace positive battery cables until you find the broken circuit. If both house batteries and chassis batteries are not giving voltage, it sounds like main ground broke loose. Easy way to check is voltmeter from positive battery terminal to frame.
How to test the starter relay of a Freightliner FLD?
I spent 13.5 years working in Edmonton, While you have the batteries disconnected put each one separately on a regulated charger, clean all connections, grounds, cab leg ground especially. Test the batteries separately, How did I do jbstar.
Where is the battery in a Freightliner solenoid?
Likely in the dash or basement compartment in front of driver’s wheel. The solenoid has two large lugs– one connected to chassis battery (always battery voltage), the other to all those things that run when the key is ON (battery voltage only when it receives its “signal” from the ignition switch. And either one or two small lugs.
Where can I buy a Freightliner wiring diagram?
The wiring diagram (wall chart) is still available for your truck through your Freightliner dealer (thats where I “got” mine) and they are really not that expensive. My suggestion is not to buy the “wallchart”. Buy the FLD/… customer workshop manual. It has all the schematics that pertain to the FLD Classic.
