Exterior lighting: turn signal: switchReported November 29, 2000 · 671 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Vehicle description: heavy duty trucks. A loss of the turn signal function can occur due to a turn signal flasher that is not compatible with the turn signal switches that allow the brake lights to override the hazard warning lights. If the hazard warning lights are on and the brake lights are activated, the turn signal flasher senses an overload condition and becomes disabled until all electric loads are removed.
Risk
Following drivers may not be aware of the truck's turning intentions increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will install a turn signal flasher that is compatible with turn signal switches that allow the brake lights to override the hazard warning lights.

Dashboard is breaking apart. Most critical area at this time is where the fuse box is located. Most of the plastic has cracked broken and the fuse panel fell out and was hanging by the electrical wires. Another area of importance is where the air brake set/release valve is located. The plastic gave way and the valve pushes freely back into the dash without support to set or release. Deterioration has occurred over time and the deterioration is continuing. Fuse panel has been secured to floor. Air brake valve has been reinforced.jb
