Brake lights
Can anyone suggest a reason why the brake lights on my FR Berkshire 2008 have quit working? I have tail and turn signal just no Brake. I took it to Camping world and they seem to think its a grounding issue but they do not do those repairs . Please help I'm leaving in 5 days for a cross country trip from SC to Montana.

If the 1157 bulb is OK for Turn I don't think it is a Ground issue! If it is a Freightliner Chassis call them and ask what activates the Elect signal back to the lights! Youroo!!

That's the best advice I've heard so far . Thanks for the help . I'll reach out once I've heard from Freightliner.

I have seen some evidence of Mice. Maybe mainly in the ceiling area , found some debris in the duct work . Which means I have an issue up there ..... However it was the switch , the Lights are now working!
