Truck suddenly beeping and flashing and won't let me drive
Does anyone know what in the world is going on? This nonsense just screwed me over with a delivery. After a long drive with an articulated trailer I was trying to get it in the parking highlight when suddenly my truck stopped responding with a constant beeping and flashing light. I've scoured my controls and can't for the life of me figure out whats going on. I even tryed calling a tow service to see if that would reset it making me late for the delivery in the process but it was still happening just now I am in a slightly different location still unable to drive my truck.

Are you by chance out of air for the brakes? If you got the realistic air brake option checked, you can run out of air if you use them too much, which will kick on the emergency brake. All you gotta do is wait for the air to build back up if that's the case.

Additionally, if it is the air brakes put the vehicle in Neutral and then rev the engine to build up air pressure quicker.

I just looked and it wasn't enabled to begin with.

I don't have air breaks enabled so it wouldn't be that.

I did end up solving the issue by quitting out of the game and loading back in though I still have no idea what caused the issue to begin with. Just that I was fighting with the articulated trailer trying to manuever it where I needed to go and suddenly the truck just seemed to lock up on me with some kind of warning noise going off.
