Electrical complaints
I was driving east on i10 when the check engine light came on. I then noticed the dash panel going in all different directions. The error code came up as j1939. Talking with winnebago and cummings engine they both stated this was a chassis problem and contact freightliner. I called them in orlando florida and they stated they were aware of some problem with the dash instrument panel or associated electrical control board. They also stated there could be an electrical short in the wiring harness. I did not have an accident and did not like pulling off the road to check for problems on three occasions between jacksonville fl. And orlando, fl. *Tr
