Hallo,
I own a M1078A1 (2003) and yesterday the truck broke down.
I drove for about 10km (sorry I am from Germany, so km and not miles ), turned the truck off and after 10 minutes I wanted to start it again. The starter cranked, but the engine doesn't come on.
Today I had a closer look and recognised, that two of the four batteries are quite dead (the two on the right side just have a voltage about 8V).
The strange thing is, the starter cranks, but nothing else happens.
I also tried to read the error code from the ECM (I have a diagnostic computer), but my computer couldn't connect to the ECM.
And the next strange thing is, if I press the "Lamp test" button on the dash board, just the bottom lights come on.
Can this all happens, because of the dead batteries?
And another question. Is this correct, that the 12V just be used for the lights and everything else is on 24V.
Thankx for you ideas. It's a great forum here.
Best regards
Theo
