Interior sewage truck warning light and loud buzzing sound can anyone tell me what it is and what to do?
https://1drv.ms/i/s!AlTEhiOvLLkjgY47evtp2Zqey1OuyQ

Here is a picture of the interior of the sewage truck there is one light on and there is a very loud warning buzz sound and I have no idea what is wrong or what to do.
The link is to my one drive photo area if it doesn't work and you have a better place to use let me know thanks.

I have a feeling that is the air pressure alarm, just basically hold the throttle for a bit in neutral or just drive a bit. It should turn off.

Its the brake pressure meter. Trucks usually use pressure generated by throttling of the engine to "add power" to the brakes. that loud buzzing sound and the lit alarm sign just tells you theres not enough pressure to use brakes at all.

When you start up a truck, it doesnt have brakes at all at first, other than handbrake, due to the pressure being too low.

Keep pedaling the throttle while gear is not on, the buzzing sound goes off as brake pressure increases.

It's not just the brake pressure meter. Trucks use air for nearly everything, from starting the engine, to operating the brakes(as said above), to inflating-deflating the air suspension.

Just give it some throttle and it should stop it.

Its "Air Pressure", you can just hold the throttle down a bit and it stop. Funny but you can drive with the buzzard going off, just little slower. In RL when you have the buzzer going off you can not move, a vehicle is locked in place and you can not disable the brakes until you have enough pressure.

With so many of the same answer I believe this is correct I will load my game and try it now. I was thinking that I may have wrecked the truck on the 1st time out and needed to start a new game.

Only car that does not reset to "normal" state is the Satsuma (datsun)

Van, tracktor, truck, and muscle car all revert to "default" State after every quit and load back. Even if you mangle the van into un-runnable state, same with any other vehicle, they revert to default state, fully fixed.

Thank you can I ask a few more questions?
Also I tried to walk down the road I sank like I was in water and was reset to the house is this a bug if so do you know how I can send a report on this bug?
I know you can tow vehicles but if you crash your car do you have to walk all the way home or just quit and start again from last save or is there a way to get a tow?
I think that's all I have for questions that I am having trouble finding answers to.
One more do yuou know of a guide that can help troubleshoot engine issues?
I have a savegame whre the engine is in the car and I get it started but it stalls however if I push the gas peddal and rev it it runs and then with ina few seconds the engine drops right out of the car and I have no idea what I did wrong nor how to trouble shoot it so I backed up the save and am trying again.

I know I asked this but I thought I had ordered parts but when I tried that catalog again no money actually went out of my account I suspect that you need ot use the envolope as well in order to use the mail order function any tips?

1. report bugs to the "BUG REPORTS" subforum on the right in MSC discussions panel. Just describe the situation and exact spot where you fell under the map.

2. you have to walk home or to the closest car, or start again. no other way around, if you didnt bring toolbox with you to fix the car.

3. Engine assembly guides are found all around youtube. if the engine falls off, youve forgotten 1 of the 3 bolts on the engine. its connected from front with 2 bolts, and from the gearbox with 1.

4. when youre home, and order parts from the catalog, you need to bring that envelope that has the order within it, to the shop in Peräjärvi, to the yellow mailbox on the right side of the door wall. the order will appear on the shops desk in 1 day.

Thank you very much I really appreciate the tips and I thought there was only one bolt along with the half shaft bolts in any case in this new game I had just put the engine in then read this and I had missed 2 bolts on the front this must be what was wrong all I need to do now is add fuel and try starting it.
I've seen videos for the building of engine but haven't found any for actually troubleshooting if the engine won't start or stay running however I will try and start the car later today and then I'll go from there. Thanks again for all your help.

"Trucks use air for nearly everything, from starting the engine..." how pneumatic system can support engine start??

You don't always have to walk home. If you get blackout drunk you will wake up at home.

Handy if you make it to town and breakdown. Go get smashed at the pub and come get it in the morning.

It would be nice to have buses in game when you run out of fuel or something

I am not sure what you're asking with this question "how pneumatic system can support engine start?"
Yes, a bus or better yet a cellphone taxi and GPS in the cell phone or for the dash as an upgrade would be awesome implements.
I got my car started and I Bought the extra gauges my fuel mixture is 15.8 and the water pressure and oils pressure look good but there is a tick tick tick from the valves. Should I be able to drive this to the shop? I ask this because I Am having difficulting getting the car to move almost as soon as it's in gear it stalls doesn't help that I don't know how to drive standard in real life. I can pilot the sewage truck with relative ease can you provide any tips or perhaps any videos that can help me get the car moving?
