RoadRelay Installation

After installing my RoadRelay, why won't the display turn on?

The RoadRelay is probably not getting power. Check that the key is in the "On" position, the fuses are in circuit and intact, and the wiring is consistent with what is specified in the installation manual. Verify with a voltmeter that power is being applied from the 6-pin vehicle connector pins to the RoadRelay 4. Press the "Up" arrow several times to brighten the display.

After installing my RoadRelay, why won't the display turn off after 30 seconds with the key in the "Off" position like it's supposed to?

It sounds like you may have wired unswitched battery power to the switched power input of the RoadRelay. Check the wiring to ensure it is consistent with what is specified in the instruction manual.

After installing my RoadRelay, why does the display go blank immediately after turning the key to the "Off" position.

It sounds like you do not have the unswitched power wired correctly. Check the wiring of the switched and unswitched power connections to ensure they are consistent with what is specified in the instruction manual.

After installing my RoadRelay, why am I getting a "RoadRelay Data Link Failure" or "Improper Data Link Connection" error message?

It is likely that the data link connections have not been made properly. Verify that all the data link wires have been properly connected, as specified in the installation manual, the key is in the "On" position, and there are no open or shorted wires and no bent connector pins. Measure the data link wires with a voltmeter to ensure they are in the voltage range specified in the troubleshooting section of the installation manual.

After installing my RoadRelay, what should I do if I see a "No Power From Backup Battery" error message?

It is likely that either the loop-back connector is not installed (for RoadRelay 4 only) or the RoadRelay back-up battery is dead. For the RoadRelay 4, make sure that the 10-pin loop-back connector has been properly installed, as described in the installation manual. Measure the back-up battery voltage on the 10-pin loop-back interface connector on the RoadRelay 4 to verify it is not below 2.0 Volts DC. If the battery is dead in your RoadRelay, you will need to have it replaced at an authorized Cummins repair facility. Note that opening the RoadRelay yourself and attempting to replace the battery voids the warranty.
