I still don't get it. Why put the filament of the indicator light in series with the circuit and not just put it in parallel? Just another illustration of why I hate automotive electronics. If we had done junk like that when I installed controls, we would have been thrown out of the customer site and never allowed to return.

Does anybody know if there is a "lamp test" on these trucks? Aside from watching closely as the lamps cycle on startup is there a way to force all the lamps to illuminate just to be sure they all work?
