Well local parts places only have the basic jumpers and Rush Peterbilt tells me apparently the ones I have are obsolete and no longer made as they only have the new and improved ones with a more robust and bigger connection&#8230; gotta have their $3.5k harness for that tho&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So after searching a few junk yards to no avail I ended up welding the broken contacts back together for a temp fix. This worked as far as starting the truck and it running but now my brake lights do not work. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a coincidence. At first if I pushed on the brake pedal really hard or held the trailer brake down they did somewhat work but then that quit and as of now the brake lights flat don&#8217;t work at all.<br \/>The turn and running lights do work, it&#8217;s only the brakes on both the truck and trailer that are a no go.<br \/>I also noticed that if I have the rpms up and on cruise control neither the brakes or the trailer brake no longer cancel the cruise control.<\/p>\n<p>So can anyone tell me where those leads off the battery jumpers go and does my brake light issue sound like a stop light switch gone bad or a relay or both or are these lead\/connections perhaps shot from the welding? If I don&#8217;t respond for a bit it&#8217;s cuz I have to take a nap before being up early. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/truckingindustryforum\/styles\/default\/xenforo\/smilies-vb\/sleepy2.gif\" class=\"mceSmilie\" alt=\":sleepy2:\" title=\"sleepy2    :sleepy2:\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/truckingindustryforum\/styles\/default\/xenforo\/smilies-vb\/sleepy2.gif\" class=\"mceSmilie\" alt=\":sleepy2:\" title=\"sleepy2    :sleepy2:\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/truckingindustryforum\/styles\/default\/xenforo\/smilies-vb\/sleepy2.gif\" class=\"mceSmilie\" alt=\":sleepy2:\" title=\"sleepy2    :sleepy2:\"\/><br \/>Thanks in advance for your time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Click to expand&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><script>\n\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\n\t\tn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\n\t\tdocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\tfbq('dataProcessingOptions', []);\n\tfbq('init', '1812746315680142'); \/\/ Insert your pixel ID here.\n\t\t\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruckersreport.com\/truckingindustryforum\/threads\/2002-pete-379-battery-brake-issue.2513400\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a 2002 Pete 379 (C15) and recently went to change my batteries and noticed this on both my positive and negative jumpers.
