Only the positions labeled as “editable” in the chart above can be changed. You must apply the
standard icons on the editable card on all the positions that read “fixed”.
The wait to start and malfunction indicator lamp are part of the emission control system. They
must not be removed or altered.
In order to activate the editable lights (either on the standard card or the editable card) locate the wiring connections on
pigtail connectors behind the right hand side gauge panel. The wires will be labeled and tagged with position numbers. For
example for position 12 the breakout label will be yellow and have the following text: “TELLTALE POS 12”. The color of the
tag corresponds to the color of the light. When these circuits are either grounded or powered the light in the dash will turn
on.
All cards come with standard editable telltale lights, even if the chassis you have was not ordered with related components.
The standard cards are shown above (in Figure 8-9). Editable cards are also available from your local Kenworth dealer.
The left side editable card is shown in Figure 8-11 below.
