I switched my truck off, then pumped my brakes all the way down to zero. I then turned the truck back on and let the pressure build all the way up. Then I repeated the process one more time. It solved my cruise control issue.

[@Gasdieselgarage]

Awesome

[@kishanicole5760]

Thank you because he is talking way to much

[@curtisfrierson5596]

I just had that same problem while rolling down the road, so I started looking at this video and rather than stop to see if my brakes light with flashing or staying on, I just decided to pump my brakes about 5 or 10 times while I was still rolling, and sure enough the cruise kickee right back in, so you might want to try that...🎤💣💥💨💯🤷🏿‍♂️

[@timothybramble5861]

Pumping while driving worked!

[@trinidadstv1929]

​@@curtisfrierson5596wow that totally worked..thank u so much

[@mamaburra84]

Man, I don’t know if you are a mechanic or someone else told this but I was able to fix my issue thanks to your only 10 min video. And the best thing is that I didn’t even have to buy a new pressure switch; even though I tried but it was out of stock. I clean the rust off installed it back on and that’s it! You’re a beast! Your instructions were very clear and straight to the point. Thank you!

[@Gasdieselgarage]

Thank you my friend…it’s why do these videos.

Having the exact same problem with my brake lights and cruise control for the past 2 weeks now and every time it happens, i stop for a min and switch off the entire truck power to reset and then it works for the day. But thank you so much for the video. Will get it cleaned up for now at least until i get home and get a new part.

[@Gasdieselgarage]

Awesome my friend

[@Ribadibdib]

You’re literally a life saver man! Been wondering why my cruise hasn’t been working. And today noticed the brake lights started staying on.

[@Gasdieselgarage]

Awe thanks bud

[@skyoneasassin]

2018 cascadia here, I'm pretty sure brake pressure switch is the issue... thanks for the video

[@Killerbrick]

This vid was so helpful.. on a 2019 loner Cascadia.. issues with breaks dragging when pulling off. And the cruise not engaging... Or disengaging... So .. I sounded like I knew stuff when I told mechanic to check that valve... He did some computer diagnostics and ended up replacing this very part that you talk about.. No longer issues with breaks saying they are dragging or using the cruise. Big thanks!

[@Gasdieselgarage]

Absolutely my friend….this is a prime example of why I do these videos.

[@josephkloberdanz4282]

Did the switch fix your trailer brakes dragging..I'm having same problems

[@jshsamuelson]

Thanks man, been trying to figure this out for a week or more. You are the only one that said the lights could be flashing as well as staying on. The explanation about draining the air tanks is good as well for most to hear! Will comment bank if it works. It is literally doing the same thing so I’m sure it is.

[@user-oh4mo8nu2q]

Brother 10/4 Your video help me a lot. All I did to take the Switch and clean it With the sandpaper and put it back. And the problem solved Allhamdullah (thanks God)❤

Would any of these pressure switches cause my abs light to came on? Abs code 523000? Prior to abs code i had a drag brake warning camo on but went away. Now i get abs code. I don't know if its got any connection. Btw these pressure switches are on back order. My truck is 2021 cascadia. Thank you

Thank you very much I just replaced it myself

[@Vanoturhai]

If even your brake lights dont come off and cruise control is not working after you start your truck is the same switch, replace it

[@michaelmishler6492]

Do you happen to know the part number? Mine is doing te exact same thing

[@tonytorres7417]

Another question I have an issue that is common on the Freightliner the dome light that is in the driver part of the cab not in the sleeper but it turns on and off on and off and you cannot shut it down I have no idea to stop it. It stops by itself

[@manny2go293]

Great vídeo. Got Freightliner 2019 and CC is disengaging. Do you have a video for lights? Lights are opaque not much projection.

[@behzadmoshiri4528]

I have international LT is it going to be same switch the first one on top? Any name or color to recognize it?

[@Gasdieselgarage]

I believe it’s blue but I’d get on google and find a picture of the international brake pedal manifold

Yoooo waasup yall I need advice 2024 freightliner, Cascadia adaptive cruise control, an active brake assist & bunch of other sensor lights on

[@i_m_ak1]

I was driving through the heavy rain storm right after that I had a sensors flashing and say cruise control another couple of sensors was not supporting. I have been driving 150 miles without cruise control without adaptive cruise sensors.

[@i_m_ak1]

Hey situation before the same situation with the adaptive cruise after a heavy rain store, it was not working properly by after a couple of miles it’s kept working again but this time 2024 freightliner Cascadia it’s not working almost 150 200 miles still nothing I drive across the state and it’s hard to drive on the pedal

[@i_m_ak1]

Brand new freightliner Cascadia 2024. All sensors was working everything was cool everything was working perfect it has almost 20,000 mileage I just recently got it almost a month ago renting it from Penske.

@@abdinurseefka does the cruise control button engage?…or have you had anything replaced like front radar, camera, steering angle sensor. I ask because any of those things can cause it not to work if the system wasn’t calibrated after those replacements.

What was the part number of that switch?

Thank you

[@tonytorres7417]

How did you know about this problem it’s something that all cascadia have issues with

[@Gasdieselgarage]

Well I sat and thought about it and treated it like a regular electric brake switch like what any other car or truck would have because cars and trucks can produce the same problem with the brake lights staying on…I found the air pressure switch that controls the brake lights. To my none surprise I saw it was rusted shut…caused by not regularly draining the water out of the air tanks

No unfortunately you won’t see any on the dash

I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago it will have the break light flashing and then it will stop after that the cruise control worked fine then it stop completely. It was like on and off then it worked but now it stop completely the lights won’t blink at all.
