    Power not really off….. strange

    I haven't had a bump to the starter, though I often see the CHARGING SYSTEM dash light fade away when working on the electrical system as I turn the system on and off at the main switch near the NATO plug when I leave the dash power switch closed. Our unit is a 2003 M1078A1 with LBCD—

    Right, though the Aliexpress units have a small compressor listed. I really like the CruisnComfort units, though $7,000 means pulling out the wallet in my front left pocket with my right hand: not happening—

    So, That Oracle Lighting M1079 at SEMA This Year....

    Interesting AC unit. Is that like a 24v minisplit? I like the idea of not adding a compressor to the engine. In the photos on their website it looks like a single fan condenser and electric compressor is mounted on the rear of the cab—

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    I appreciate all the help and even the cajoling. Glad to have the testing kit and will add additional software over time. Would very much like more information about our unit. The -20's [1998, before the A1] don't have items like the ABS brakes, so where did you find the specifications for...

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    Right: auto off goes to zero. Thank you. Thank you. I have been wondering the same most of today, hoping someone else would speak up. I'd prefer to purchase a ready built, though I can source the parts, test, and pot my own once confirmed. Thank you—

    The heated fuel bowl: more misinformation shared by folks at MME— [EDIT: I shouldn't pick on MME. I love my truck and they helped me have the confidence to start this journey]

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    Not knowing the proper testing protocol intended for Pvt. Snuffy, nor the specifications of the resistor, beyond 60 or 120 ohms. I can only say 11.5 kOhms may be close. The other tests suggest failed resistor. The isolated test, as we would do for one on a circuit board suggests the resistor...

    On the A1 the ether cylinder is back near the LBCD. I thought the A1R's used a heated fuel bowl instead?

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    Here is a photo of P250 terminal resistor. The only P250 label I found was a J1939 wire coming back in a huge bundle from P115, P116, X21, and a couple of 'stringers' unconnected to anything. The P250 terminal end was under the PDP, in the separated space below the circuit board above the...

    Educate me on talking to wabco ABS

    Is that the plug for the contamination sensor? ABS is read at the diagnostic port next to your left knee when in the driver's seat, no?

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    Haven't found a P250/J250 connector as yet. It is not behind the instrument cluster. Found a terminal resistor under the PDP, on a terminal end of P250. I haven't seen J250 anywhere. There are two J1939 cables running off the diagnostic port: 1— J183 to P183; and a huge bundle that appears...

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    Only J1708 is blinking, which the DPA5 manual states, whether green or red, is the signal that the adaptor is reading the truck side. The adaptor's lights come on and blink whether the computer is connected or not. I am thinking either adaptor or wiring is the next issue to explore? Perhaps...

    Thank you @Lostchain that certainly was one of my issues. This is still one, too: No blinky J1939 =/ I have some winter prep to do this weekend around the house, hopefully I will finish that all tomorrow. I appreciate all the help, persistence, and advice—

    Looking for M1078A1 ABS troubleshooting guide

    halleluia. Installed twice, then a third time; obvious ineptness. Still no J1939, though J1708 worked: It looks like I have plenty of issues to learn and investigate here. Could the transmission codes be related to installing Eco Hubs recently?

    I'll go there again, though I recall that link just downloading. In fact I think it downloaded several times as I didn't think anything was happening and ended up having several copies in my download folder. I do not understand windows, maybe my ineptness—

    I did. And the Dana one, too. The Dana software also does not work. I think the first issue is truck side since J1939 does not blink?
