[@arnoldshimek3736]

Freightliner needs to put the PNDB on saftey recall. If this part shuts the truck down while traveling down the road that's a hazard and saftey issue

[@yuhvir]

You always make great videos and explain really well Thanks Francisco keep up the good work. been mechanic for a while and I have learned a lot from your videos.

[@publicsector3456]

You are very good and honest technician God bless you,

[@mattnewman6219]

Thanks Francisco, just started having this problem. Glad to at least know why, even though I'm not real happy about having to replace it. Great video!

[@Ken-harris]

Freightliner is known for leaky windshield. Probably the water makes its way down to the PDM from behind the dash

[@herbertmoriango8823]

I had the same problem for my truck I would turn off the truck but the clearance lights would stay on for some minutes and kills the battery. I had to change it and the new ones look totally different but it works well. Good observation

[@roymtz5375]

Good Observation Ken.... That Is A Strong Possibility Where That Water Came From

[@cesarcastillo9561]

I notice when it rains I start having electric problems

[@wilsonmolina9427]

Excelente video, yo cambie el mio y me empezó a hacer lo mismo a las 900 millas de cambiarlo (apagarse y encender en unos segundos) halguna idea si puede ser otra cosa? O tendra defecto el nuevo pdnd? Lo compre nuevo en la freightliner. Gracias

[@oraliaornelas9509]

Thank you for all your video's I love this one it explains everything. I have had to replace several of these, and I have been meaning to take one apart to see what went wrong. You did it for us. Love your videos thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

[@joemata4183]

Hey,,Francisco, can u bypass it to double check..

[@cedthetruth1311]

I’ve replaced 3 of the damn boxes in less than 3yrs at 350.00 a pop horrible design from FreightLiner I meant Mercedes Benz..😡

[@sidneyhowlett4645]

I appreciate your ambition. And wisdom. Much respect!

[@christianhernandez6299]

Hello Francisco, I am having issues with this item, I already replaced and still having the issue, how else I can contact you?, thank you

[@Bahrom0704]

Hello on my Freightliner bake lights stay on when brake pedal released so is this module has to be replaced?

[@WORM1100]

Is this a plug and play part or is there programming needed?

[@makincash3337]

Plug n play.

[@lorenzowilliams1145]

Mucha gracias brother me Ayuda su video q Dios le Bendiga

[@waltergarcia4888]

Thank you very much for your hard work and your patience to explaining the cause and the solution to the problem.

[@lenron123]

Thanks for the great information. I have had this exact issue with my Freightliner and am positive that you have identified the problem. I have passed on your video to my mechanic. Great video and so informative.

[@douglasclark3424]

excellent video and information. I am having this driving shut down problem and probably need this part.. like you, I wanted to know what was causing it and why it happened.. will take extra precautions to seal this unit up.. silicon or something similar to keep all the water out should give extra life and prevent a repeat situation.. thanks again

[@williamjamessiddis3975]

Is it normal for the red light to be on my pdnb box while I am parked with engine shutoff

[@dh9582]

Francisco I had the same problem so i changed the pndb but my amber light is still on. Can you tell me why.

[@martygt3357]

If I use dielectric gel in the holes and then plug in all the wires, would that keep water out of the PNDB?

[@abinparsai3080]

Light on that part is blinking not solid it that mean bad ,

[@markm0000]

Thanks. It’s good to know now what it does. I think this is just useless electronics. It should be a normal power switch on top of the batteries.

[@jorgefacio690]

will this cause my dome lights to not turn on?

[@magnodvd1971]

Well, there you have it. Get yourselves a tube of silicone glue and start sealing the PDM before water gets in

[@markm0000]

The problem is water from the windshield if the one on your truck is under the dash.

[@makincash3337]

That don't work. Ive had to change two out

[@im_a_ukie8951]

Maybe this is why I shouldn’t wash my engine anymore ?? Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@franciscoamayaYT]

This mostly happens on winter but it is better no to power wash your engine bay.

[@alongwang3582]

Hello! Will the PNDB cause MCM System ID not receiving Stopping or Arriving? My 17 freightliner randomly shut off while driving or idling. PNDB is new replaced.

[@JohnBrown-sv9bf]

i have a question for you.. For my 2013 freightliner cascadia my pndb box is model a06-75148-011 But i cant find a new one Can i use the 2014 version model number a66-03714-009 the last 3 numbers on the end are 009 and the last 3 numbers on my box is 011 They look exactly the same to me... Anyone know if it is ok to use the other 2014 model pndb box ending in 009 instead of my originial ending in 011. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP

[@raymuckleroy4053]

Francisco Thank you very much for this video. I am having an issue and believe this is the problem. However, If so, I would like to know how to bypass it long enough to get to a shop for repair. Do you have a video on how to bypass?

[@michaeldevore7841]

Hi Francisco Great video! Question for you. When I turn off my 2015 freighter about a minute later it shuts down all 12v power. My batteries and cables are all good. Can PNDB shut all power off even when truck is not running? It’s like when you turn off disconnect switch but my switch is still on.

[@jbaxter68]

Excellent videos! Thank you for what you are doing!

[@MrBorri007]

Hi great video can you make a video and how to bypass it and how to run the cables to it I’m having problems with that thank you God bless

I just had this problem and when i touch the thick red wire on the lefy of the box it does that clicking sound and i loose all power to the truck. The power loss problem started after i hit a pothole so i guess smthng inside that box broke or got loose.

[@baatarsandag5989]

Hello, I have a 2019 Cascadia freight liner with DD15 Engine and 390,000 miles on it. When the check engine light turns on, the AC, cruise control, lane keep assistant and diagnostic buttons don’t work. When the check engine light turns off, they start working normally. It has been like this since the time I got it new. It would turn on for 15-30 minutes and be okay after. Then it started happening 2-3 times a day. Now it’s always on and I’m having a tough time. Have any of you guys encountered this before? I’d appreciate some insight or help regarding this matter.

[@jorgegonzalez-tq6ym]

hi did you find solution to your problem i ha ve the same issue in freightliner 2018 ,i really appreciate any comment on this matter thx

[@markm0000]

The one on my truck is failed but only after using the power cut off switch. It cuts off a few times but then stays on. I never turn off my batteries now. I’ve had my truck on for 3 weeks in very cold weather and the batteries stayed over 12v.

Hello Francisco i don't know where else to ask you this question, so i hope you see this. My 2018 freightliner cascadia wont crank. I replaced the starter 4months ago. I watched your video on pumping the clutch while starting, i tried tapping the starter nothing worked. I ended up calling roadside. Mechanic showed up disconnected negative battery connections for 30sec pumped break paddle 10x connected battery back up, truck started. But now everytime i turn off the engine it wont start back up.
