Another repair company had already been on site, replaced an air tank sensor, and was leaning toward replacing the instrument panel, but the issue was still not resolved.
Performed electrical troubleshooting and voltage drop testing on cab power and ground circuits. Found excessive voltage drop and unstable cab power supply, which was causing loss of power, dash irregularities, and brake alarm activation when additional loads were applied.
Located faulty power and ground connections, repaired the affected wiring/connections, and restored normal cab electrical operation. After electrical repairs were completed, continued with A/C diagnosis and found additional HVAC-related faults along with a low refrigerant condition.
Proper diagnostics saves time and parts.
