I have a 2007 International pusher school bus and when I turn the key on several lights turn on IE "wait to start","check oil","water temp","fuel filter", etc. come on as normal but never go back off after a few seconds(as normal). What controls these lights.I assume it's a self test of the bulbs ??
Thx, |

Do they ever go off? Some take longer than others. |
If it doesn't fit, FORCE it. If it breaks, well, it needed replacing anyway. Pullin' wrenches for 45 years. |

Hello, We've got 4 of these same buses, so I can compare one to another. This one, these lights never goes out. "normal" is to have the lights come on with key and go off after about 2/3 seconds.(even before you crank the engine) The problem lights are "wait to start","oil/water","warn engine", "change oil","water in fuel", and "fuel filter". The other Asst lights on the dash act normal. I've even traded a dash cluster with a known good unit and these lights still come on and stay on, so it's got to be somewhere in the wiring ? Is there a relay somewhere that controls the timing on these ? I'm wondering what normally keeps them on for a couple of seconds the turns them off ??
Thx, Marc |

Ran into this one time on a 4700 truck. Ground issue to the dash. Loss of ground occurred, so it took it's ground through those same lights. |
