PINK Gauges trim glitch
I installed a W900 parts mod by Alan about a week or two ago, and my game ended up crashing. So i removed the mod right? and everything is working fine again. However, in all my Kenworths and SCS trucks, all the gauges trims are a pink glitch color. Is there a way i can fix this problem?

Magenta or magenta/black checkerboard is usually missing textures. If you right click on the game in Steam Library, and under Properties > LOCAL FILES, see if VERITY INTEGRITY OF GAME FILES... helps.

Just sell the trucks and buy others. Sometimes when you remove mods, either parts or sounds some residual files can remain associated with the trucks you have. Selling the trucks usually fixes the problem.
Just wipe your profile and start over with no mods (vanilla). At least then it'll be guaranteed to work correctly.

Bad advice he doesn't have to do all of that. Simply delete the mod in question and the issue no longer exists.

OP said he removed the mod and the problem persists...

That certainly is bad advice. He *should* just need to sell & re-buy the problem vehicles. Deleting a profile is a recourse of last resort (besides you can, if you know what you're doing, use that profile's savegame to transfer relevant data to a new profile savegame to recover a good deal of progress).

However, simply deleting a mod certainly doesn't solve all mod related problems, depending on just what the mod actually does. Profile savegames retain individual truck accessory data (which also includes truck sounds despite these being explicitly defined by the engine accessory).

Truck accessory data includes *everything* that the game can 'bolt' onto a truck, even those which may never actually appear as a customisable option in the shop. Interiors are one of those things.

In the OP's case, deleting the mod is exactly what has *caused* this little problem. The problem *can* be resolved without selling the trucks by simply editing the profile savegame, however 'one does not simply edit savegames' - It's an involved process that requires some understanding, or study.

Did you ever get this issue resolved? I have the same problem but it also affects non-SCS trucks. My issue was co-incident with the release of game version 1.28.

My issue seems to have gone away by magic.
