Before taking your truck to a shop, see if this is what is causing you problems.
It might just be that you have not allowed your bunk heater room to breath. See video for details.

They really didn’t know you couldn’t block that vent 🤔 Wow. Guess this video helped someone

[@MrJonndoe]

Haha, I got mine working 😂, thank you sir

[@thegrumpytrucker7823]

I have a brand new freightliner with nothing under my bed and the very first time I went to fire it up.. no flame.

[@carlosjr.2659]

Thank you. I noticed my cover was off

[@boneheaded9751]

Nah. I have nothing packed around mine. Maybe the pilot light went out? Was really windy here.

[@DDTruckDriver]

Well they don't have a pilot light. It is a glow pin and screen that often needs to be changed.

[@TheReaper88]

Well... I feel dumb. But that fixed it lol. Pulled over last night to help a lady on the side of the road with a flat and in my hurry to find duck tape under my bed I tossed stuff on the vents. Moved it all out of the way started my truck for a few minutes to disengage the Espar turned the truck off heater fired right up

[@Kamalsingh619]

My heater is brand new and showing this error

[@DDTruckDriver]

And have you tried checking for this?

[@s.f.mworldwide7242]

Wow I was just having this issue and I'm pretty good about keeping things away from the heater part. It was a few wires in the way moved them and it fired right up.

[@DDTruckDriver]

Glad it helped, we are hoping to post more espar videos soon, subscribe to see more!

what is thepassword

Prime it multiple times when brand new Watch for pump ticking…takes at least few times and probably more than 10-20 minutes to make it work. Be patient and shut it down and wait like 20 seconds and start it again until it work. Do not dismantle anything and start it over and over for possible from control center or thermostat or display temp….etc Terms are confusing Watch the fuel line for fuel going to the unit or heater or to the burning chamber. Again be patient and don’t dismantle anything when brand new. Make sure with a visual inspection that no leaks are present and fuel is present on fuel line and enough fuel for the main source. If necessary remove the fuse from main source for about 20 seconds and restart everything from control unit,thermostat or whatever you called it displaying temp. Good luck…I doubt its something wrong with anything besides fuel going to the unit. Espar is the cream of the pie and very best of the best.

I am going to try this tomorrow. I hope it works, it's very cold in PA lol

[@romstartransportation5387]

@@MAXED-TRUCKING It should work…I installed so far 3 brand new in 3 different trucks. Every single worked the way I described above. Let me know either way…I know this units even in my dreams 😜

[@MAXED-TRUCKING]

@@romstartransportation5387 it didn't work. I think now the ECU is locked because it doesn't do the clicking anymore. I'll have to take it in now😮‍💨

[@romstartransportation5387]

@@MAXED-TRUCKING Remove the fuse from the battery and let it sit a little and put it back. If is a brand new unit it should work…the thermostat should clear any given code while you removed the fuse. If is a used unit call the Espar phone number….they are great in support. Did you installed your self as brand new?

[@romstartransportation5387]

@@MAXED-TRUCKING Just a reminder that the unit ECU takes command from your thermostat and so is the pump. Did the thermostat give you any codes? What kind of thermostat you got? Wires color should be respected according to installation book provided by Espar…also available on line. This should be very easy since not much could go wrong. Even the fuel pump is connected with 2 wires…even if reverse wires it will work the same.

[@ocasio3024]

Yup didn’t work for me either…. These things are junk. They always fail. This is my 4th to fail.

[@DDTruckDriver]

Like we said in the video, this "could" be an issue that is super easy to check for. Probably the most common thing that causes this is your glow pin and screen need to be replaced. We run into that regularly and have to replace them often, just like the filters on your engine

[@mgsingh4213]

I lifted up the bed, and it starts working 😄🫡
