DIODE INSIDE THE WIRING HARNESS EXPLODED AND BURNED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS, DAMON CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WIRING HARNESS WAS INSTALLED BY FREIGHTLINER (ON A 1997 CHASSIS). MR *NLM

FAILED STATE SAFETY INSPECTION. FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED: SB54-3. "BRAKE LIGHTS DIODE REVISION" THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS FAILURE HAS COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TRING TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM WHEN A SIMPLE RECALL WOULD HAVE SAVED US TIME AND MONEY. WE ALSO HAD TO BUY THE REPLACEMENT PART. I WILL ALSO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO THE MISSOURI STATE INSPECTION AUTHORITIES. DT
