    M1089 Dashboard Intermittent Power

    Welcome. Look for chafing on the wiring behind the dash. On the soft skin trucks, the gas pedal linkage would wear through the harness and cause shorts only if you were on the gas. Not sure if the armored cabs have this problem or not. The on - off cycling sounds like the breaker resetting...

    M1078 Cat 3116 Hard Start
