I have a panel warning light that comes on, stopped at a Freightliner chasis dealer. By that time lights all went off. Of, course as soon as I left lights went back on and now go on and off. Anyone have this kind of problem?????

Which light is it? My warning lights tell me what the warning is for.

I had a "T" symbol warning light prior to pulling out of a campground. I did not have a clue! While waiting for Freightliner to come on the line... a neighbor informed me the antenna was up! I thanked him, lowered the antenna.... and the mysterious "T" symbol went out!
Luckly for me, I had a good neighbor, and Freightliner never answered the phone.

It might be helpful if you were able to capture a picture of your warning light while it is illuminated. That would be useful in several ways. First, you could show the helpful folks at the Freightliner shop so you can prove you aren't crazy.

Second, if you were to share that photo here, one of the Brain Trust here can help decipher what is going on (or not going on).

The Freightliner manual that came with your coach shows all warning/caution lights with a description of there meaning. Good idea to familiarize yourself, as some of the lights and icons are not particularly intuitive. Going down the road is a bad time to wonder what an illuminated warning/caution light means.

"dhlairbus".....On a trip last year, I had that "T" show up on the dash. We pulled over and I pulled the Freightliner Manual out and it did not show that light. I kept looking at it and it sure looked like an antenna. I too had called Freightliner and was waiting for call, that never came. Finally, it dawned on me it....I went outside and the Winegard antenna was up.

For those that haven't had this happen, the power button for the antenna is right where the seatbelt snap hangs on the wall. It doesn't take much to accidentally push the antenna button when the passenger is putting on or taking off their seatbelt.

I made a plastic "L" shaped flap that I velcroed over the top edge of the antenna controller that blocks the power button from being pushed.
