hi guys, im new to diesels but I'm pretty savvy otherwise. ive got a 99 nissan ud 1400 and i just bhad to put a trans in it because it was burnt up. after replacing the trans i realized the reason the trans was blown was because the owner was downshifting it to slow the truck because the exhaust brake is inop. i have checked for vacuum (good) solenoid function (good) actuated the flapper (good) all i can think is I'm not getting signal to the solenoid to turn engage it. so i checked the switch ( dont have a diagram but there is a circuit that has continuity with switch on and doesnt with off so...im guessing its ok?) checked all fuses in the box i can see (no idea if theres a fuse block i dont know about?) but i dont have a cover so????the throttle is closing all the way...????where do i go from here?? any help is greatly appreciated! thanks in advance!
 
hi,
some trucks with exhaust brakes have a gas pedal switch, so brake only works when you lift off and its switched on.
do you know if it has one?
 
yes, as far as i know it does. im not sure how to test it though. ive checked the adjustment and the throttle is definitely closing all the way???
