International Warning Alarm/Chime/Buzzer Disable 

Swear I was about to quit as well lol

I second that it was driving me crazy

What do you do when you crank it up and it come back on and stay on

@@ronniewarren8875 exactly cause this video didint help if I can’t turn it off while driving

Haha yes, it gets QUITE annoying. I was so glad when I found out about this.

How do you disable auto lock feature

Does not work for engine shutdown alarm

Nobody invited you to anything 😂 How am I supposed to make a video showing you how to turn the alarm off if the alarm isn't actually going off?

Haha, I'm not sure on that one, but I kind of doubt it. They don't like you doing that lol

Window or door?

Tony The Truck Guy sorry it’s door

Haha, I was going to say well THAT’s annoying lol. But either way still annoying with the door. Hear it all the time in the shop

Unfortunately I haven’t played with enough of the newer LT’s to see if there’s a trick to do the same thing on those or not so I can’t offer any additional helpful advice aside from trying to wrap or plug up the chime speaker as you said you were already trying to do but I k is they’re a pain to pinpoint lol

Yeah it MIGHT not work with the low air buzzer. Some situations it just simply won't stop beeping, but it's worth a shot. I believe the beeper itself is housed just below the cluster but I can't remember which side of the steering column it's on. Another gentleman in the comments here said he located it and jammed a rag in the speaker compartment and that made it much more bearable lol.

I mean, who needs brakes with 3,000 gallons of jet fuel on board lol. They really need to fix the air leak instead of masking the problem.

@@jasoncammeyer757 Wow I can’t believe it’s already been so long since I made this comment. I’ve gotten out of my 10 plus year aviation career and work at a chem plant that prioritizes taking care of its equipment. Funny thing is I really bet that truck still has this problem lmfao

Do you know how to keep the door from closing by itself after the bus has been off for a while? It also had the odometer lit as well.

Kind of hard to pinpoint it without some testing, but I’m guessing your actual air pressure is fine since i normally can’t fluctuate like that. You’re probably looking at faulty wiring, instrument cluster, body controller, or somehow both pressure sensors went out at the same time. But again, hard to pinpoint without actually looking at it.

@@flacan4046 What is it doing?

It’s possible if it has an On Guard system or other system like Bendix that has forward radar and lane assist. Would have to be a pretty new International, though.

@Tony The Truck Guy I started working for a terrible company and the first day I drove which I've been driving for years but the first day I noticed the alignment was off so I was on the line a few times and she's like oh well trucks this big can't keep a good alignment and the international will make a loud noise on either side of the inside of the cab if I go over a line and they don't have brand new trucks. The one I'm driving now has over 230 thousand miles on it but I just thought that was a crazy thing to say!

@@TonyTheTruckGuy also thank you so much for the response!

@@avibeontherun You can definitely get a decent alignment if all the suspension and steering components are not worn and whoever does the alignment does it right. International dock trucks all ride like shit, though. The rear suspension sits on the bump stops from factory.

Haha yeah it will only work in certain positions but it beats nothing

Tony The Truck Guy dude shutting that off beats everything. And it's temporary do DOT won't climb up my ass and down my throat to meet in the middle and discuss what other ticket to give me.

Are you sure the truck has a back up alarm? Not all do.

The power divider lock? Your truck beeps when that’s engaged?

Haha, glad you can get some uninterrupted rest while you wait. Hopefully your service call goes well and you’re back on the road soon!

That one I don't know of a way to silence lol

Certain triggers for this alarm can’t be silenced with the engine running. What light are you trying to reset?

If it’s not the same noise as shown in this video, but rather a buzzing or humming noise, it’s likely your electronic brake assist motor not shutting off for some reason. The motor helps assist you with braking in the event that you lose hydraulic/vacuum assist. You can check the fuse box on the passenger side dash and on the drivers side steer fender under the hood to see if there’s any fuses or relays for that brake assist motor that may be bad. Otherwise there may be an issue with your ignition where it’s still sending power even with the key off, or the motor itself could be shorted out. Hard to pinpoint exactly without being there to check it out but hopefully this gives you some idea.

😂😂 It’s so awful. They should be sued for harassment.

Did you try it with the engine running?

It’s not “disabling” it technically it’s just silencing it temporarily.

Hahaha oh nooooooo. These things are SO annoying. At least now you know haha.

Yeah unfortunately the key has to be on, so if your auto start is disabled with the key on then you’ll need to get the actual problem fixed in order for everything to work properly. Possibly just the air tank pressure sensor itself

Sorry for the late reply, this was one of many comment being held for review for some reason. Did you figure it out?

I assume you're talking about a Volvo? I think that's how they make them to be honest. I've noticed when doing DOT inspections on a lot of Volvo's, they typically have the visual light indicator showing that the truck is low on air if the key is on, but won't actually sound the chime unless it's running.

Tony The Truck Guy Yes it is a Volvo. I have someone testing in it Friday and one of the air brake pieces is that with the key on and truck off to bleed the brakes down to 60 lbs til the alarm comes on. There are plenty of lights that come on but no alarm.

Not that I know of unfortunately. Unless you were to cut the wire going to the buzzer, but it might be the same buzzer as your low air warning so that would be a no-no for DOT lol

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I'll have to check my air buzzer and see if it sounds the same. Thank you.

You’re welcome!

I’m not aware of any way to silence the alarm on those. I’m not certain that you even can to be honest. Usually the Cascadia only makes noise when you’re low on air or have red check engine light on. What’s the issue with yours?

Tony The Truck Guy I see every time I turn on the ignition key it makes a really loud beep noise hurts my ears definitely causing ear damage not sure how to get rid of it though.

But it stops after the truck starts?

Did the actual dial break or does it just not seem to be doing anything? I would open the hood and check the firewall for where the heater cord hoses come out. Follow those and see if there’s any manual shut-off’s in-line with the heater hoses. If not, you may have a blend door or switch issue.

Hmm. Not sure what air noise you are referring to. The instrument cluster makes a bit of a whirring noise each time the ignition is cycled, but that’s all I can think of. Otherwise I wouldn’t worry about it. If the ABS light stays on even after you start driving down the road, you’ll have to have someone scan it to see what codes is active and troubleshoot from there.

It seems to also work with the engine running, but only for limited issues. I’d say body controller issues or wiring if it’s a clump of gauges not working. We have had a few in our shop act up and people shotgunned gauges at them without curing it.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy another driver told me to disconnect/reconnect battery wires to reset it. It worked. I was 7 hours from repair shop, that alarm was dri ing me crazy lol. Thanks for getting back to me!!

It’s pretty hard to diagnose without being able to see the truck unfortunately. Does the truck have hydraulic or air brakes?

Well do you know why it’s beeping?

@@TonyTheTruckGuy no i beeps none stop while on and while driving

@@lixyibethgarcia1892 Not overheating or low on air pressure or anything?

@@TonyTheTruckGuy nope

@@lixyibethgarcia1892 That’s very odd. Something must be triggering it. This trick only works temporarily unfortunately

If there’s an active issue like that then it won’t work unfortunately, you’ll have to figure out why all those lights are on and repair the issue. You’ll likely need to scan for codes to see what’s going on.

Correct, some issues it can't be silenced unfortunately.

Because when you’re a mechanic trying to work on a truck and it’s beeping at you for 3 hours, it gets pretty annoying. Important alerts such as low air can’t be silenced anyways.

Haha what’s up dude! Should work on any International with this dash cluster setup 😋

That’s likely to be an option in the ECM or body controller that the dealer or someone with dealer level software will need to disable.

Pull the parking break

Yeah cut the horn wire😬

If the PTO is always engaged, your switch is likely bad. Try holding the regen button with truck in park and see if the light goes off after a parked regen.

Hi thanks I tryed that and the regen comes on for 10sec then stops so the pto light coms off but it says to do a regen now then it comes on for 10 seconds so I put my diagnostic machine on on these are all the codes po404 exhaust gas recirculating and p2174 throttle actuator control system sudden low air flow any ideas thanks Wayne I’ve been trying to fix this for four years now

On the international trucks, the dash will sometimes display “cruise set/PTO on” in the dash cluster. Is that what you mean when you say the PTO is engaged? Or does the truck actually have a PTO with a separate switch that stays lit up? As far as the regen goes, it’s probably running for 10 seconds then cancelling out because of the 2 engine faults that you listed. Those will need to be fixed before the truck will do a successful regen. Both codes could be caused by either a failed component itself, wiring, or computer issues. You would have to figure out which pins to check for each component at the engine ECM, then test wires from there to the EGR and throttle valves. Or bring the truck to a shop for diagnostic confirmation if it’s over your head or you don’t have the proper wiring diagram.

Typically if it’s beeping, there’s a warning light on the dash or a message displayed in the odometer. If it’s not doing any of that, it’s going to be pretty hard to pinpoint the issue.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy CA that is what comes up next to D sign (drive), it has air suspension hopefully it has nothing to do with it right? 😓 btw thank u for respond

I hadn’t seen the CA message before, so I Googled it. Apparently if you have an automatic truck, CA means Clutch Abuse. Apparently it comes on when the clutch gets hot, aka slipping. This happens while backing up, or just if you’re slipping the clutch too much. If your foot isn’t on the clutch pedal and you’re not working the truck hard, but it has the CA light on, that may be an indicator that your clutch is failing.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy sounds like a problem and u r right I smelled something , do u have Idea how problematic it can be mechanically? And how much it'll cost 2fix it?

It will continue to get worse until the lurch is slipping completely and you can’t move basically. I’m now sure on the cost of the actual clutch for an automatic, but I think typical clutches for rigs run about a grand give or take. Plus about 12-20 hours of labor.

Not that I’m aware unfortunately

It looks like the LT is just their new truck line, advertised as being the most fuel efficient and aerodynamic truck they’ve built. Unfortunately I haven’t got to play with a truck that new yet so I can’t tell you any guaranteed fixes. You’d think there would be a setting you can change in the instrument cluster but if you aren’t seeing anything there then I’m not sure unfortunately.

Tony The Truck Guy - yes, I asked one of the mechanics in our shop today, & he doesn't know of a way to silence it either. Thank you for the response though, & I will post if I learn anything further on it.

LT is Line Haul Truck

Yep, every time you cycle the key off and then back on you will need to do it again.

Depends on the contrition for the alarm going off but yeah there’s many instances where it won’t work while running.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I think I have a slow airbag leak,I pumped the breaks to release & rebuild air… and tried your method again it worked for now! my heater bunk doesn’t work so I have to sleep with truck running hopefully it last, thanks again !

Yeah it depends on why the truck is beeping. Som alarms can’t be silenced. Sounds like you found the little beeper behind the dash haha

@@TonyTheTruckGuy Yes thank god. That was annoying as hell!

Where is the beeping coming from?

@@fdiscua19 Pretty sure it comes from the instrument cluster itself but if you look under the dash there’s usually a small area you can jam a rag or something to quiet it down.

@@fdiscua19 If you run your hand under the dash panel behind the light switches to the cluster ther is a round little speaker and a small white plug you can unplug

Unfortunately the truck does not work for every warning message. I would try a few more times to make sure you’re doing it right. I’ve also heard that disconnecting the batteries for about a half hour could do the trick but if that fails, you’ll likely have to fix the actual issue. Here in MN, ABS is required to work in order to pass a DOT inspection anyways.

Make sure your key is on I tried it with my key off and it didn’t work. Turn key on but don’t start and air pressure warning goes off

I don’t believe the low air can be silenced with the engine running as it’s a safety precaution but this is the only method I know to silence the alarm in any way unfortunately.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy the engine was off. I had the auto start/stop button engaged.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy I have a 2016 ProStar..

@@ngrossley I guess I’m not sure what you mean by auto start/stop. Never seen that.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy oh ok. Auto Start/stop is a feature that allows the truck to start up and turn off when the volts drops below 12.1 are 12.2 so that the batteries will recharge.

Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure the speaker is built into the instrument cluster. You’d probably have to cut it apart or smash it lol

@@TonyTheTruckGuy honestly pretty close to it hahaha, or even if I could put a ton of duct tape over it to muffle it a bit would work

Why is it beeping when the truck is running?

Tony The Truck Guy well actually my volt meter dips and beeps. Has been at the shop over a week and can find nothing wrong. So when driving it just beeps and beeps randomly all day. Sometimes it'll just beep the three time and be gone. Later it'll beep and beep non stop.

Ah, this trick is not working for you because it would need to be done every time the beeping starts. When the truck is off, it only tries to beep once so unfortunately the only way to stop it is to fix it or tear apart the instrument cluster and disconnect the beeper.

This isn’t a bus, but you’re right.

You just did lol. What’s up?

Have you tried doing this with the truck already running?

There are many possibilities, bad pressure sensors, bad instrument cluster, bad body controller.... I’d start simple and disconnect your batteries for about 10-15 minutes then go from there.

Tony The Truck Guy Same thing my boss told me. Fingers crossed🤞🏽

My also my prim and 2nd air gauges point down and alarm beep even with key on engine off know a fix

Hey I'm having this same problem did you get your's fix if so what's the cause of it

Any time!

Well THAT’s no bueno. Even if you have the lights off and key out of the ignition? If that’s the case, then it kinda sounds like a faulty ignition or body controller which would of course take some troubleshooting to figure out.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy yes, key off and out. Lights off. The only way to stop it is to pull cluster and radio breakers. Also I have no bunk lights. Not sure if they are connected issues. It doesn't malfunction all the time tho. Another thing it will do is when it does cut off while the apu is running everything will light up from time to time and then cut back off

@@gumpwhite Man that’s some electrical gremlin shit. None of that makes any sense unless there’s some sort of issue where the cluster or radio are getting unwanted power and back feeding to the ignition. That wouldn’t explain the APU stuff though. Have you verified battery connections are all clean and tight and not contacting anything that they shouldn’t be?

@@TonyTheTruckGuy yes, I even found a broken wire on starter because I've chases the main power source outside the can😂. Inside the cab looks like a nightmare so was looking for areas to check before diving into that

@@gumpwhite Oof. Yeah if starter and battery connections are good then I would have to lean towards a body controller issue but I’m sure it would take a few hours of diag to pinpoint the issue

It’s part of the instrument cluster motherboard. You have to take the cluster apart partially.

Thank you. I pulled the cluster out. Pulled the metal panel off the back. Unplug the speaker from the board. I also unplugged the horns so you don't get the stupid chime if your doors open and you try to drive around. Thanks for the video.

There’s really no way to do that. The gauge often reads empty with a red warning light when there’s a general error with the DEF system. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the sending unit is bad. It’s generally caused by a broken wire or bad DEF quality. A lot of times, changing the DEF and DEF filter then running a regen will remedy the issue but without knowing the exact code, it’s a bit hard to troubleshoot.

Did you redo this procedure after the engine was started?

Tony The Truck Guy yes i tried holding it down for like 15 seconds

Why is the truck beeping?

Tony The Truck Guy brake pressure light

That’s likely one of the issues that can’t be silenced once the engine is running because it’s a safety issue. You’ll have to actually get the brakes fixed. As you said, it will work with the engine off, but some alarms can’t be silenced with engine running.

It varies by state. Here in MN, you just need a visual low air warning, audible is not required, however this trick is not permanent and is only used during truck service.

Try this procedure after the truck is already running. Sometimes it works.

Unfortunately if this method does not work, it’s likely not possible, but I haven’t been inside an armored International before so I’m not sure how different the interior layout is

@@TonyTheTruckGuy The dash is the exact same as yours. Its an old POS and i figured out that turning the truck off and on works for a few minutes. Started doing that at each stop and its good. Brakes are squishy as hell but theyve been like this for nearly 3 years and the company refuses to fix them.

Hydraulic or air brakes? And what is causing it to beep exactly?

@@TonyTheTruckGuy Air brakes and I'm not even sure what's causing it. Just says brake pressure. It's just a truck I drive every now and then and thought I'd see if there was a way to disable the annoying beeping. Thanks for the replies.

Ahhhhh. So literally sounds like the two issues are related haha. The brake pressure light is one of the more severe warnings for the beeper so I don’t think you can silence it until the actual brakes are fixed. Typically a truck that size probably just has a smaller compressor and air tank assembly unit which commonly fails but yeah I would be screaming at the company for not having safe equipment that you have to drive.

That’s likely part of your Bendix Wingman system. The forward radar would need to be disabled either in the truck or sometimes by laptop.

Tape a pop can to the sensor on the front bumper. Spray paint the can black first and make sure to remove it before going to any terminal or shop.

Air brakes or hydraulic?

@@TonyTheTruckGuy hydraulic

Check the side of the brake master cylinder, which should be mounting under the hood on the driver's side of the firewall. There should be 2 sensors going to it. 1 of them is notorious for snapping off. If it's broken, you'll have to extract the broken piece and replace the sensor, or worst case scenario, replace the master cylinder if you can't extract the broken piece. If the sensor does not appear to be broken, it could still be faulty, so you would have to replace the sensor, or take an ohm reading and find the spec on the sensor. Aside from that, you could have air in the system, or even just be low on brake fluid. The only way to tell for sure would be to scan the truck and see if there's any codes in the ABS ECU.

Why is it beeping?

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a fuse for it, the beeper is tied into the instrument cluster wiring, so you’d have to cut the wires going to the beeper or something

Hey thank you just realized that you responded. It just was annoying. Beeping non stop the whole time. We got it fixed ended up being a air sensor.

@@dragont1x5 Glad you got it figured out!

Thank you I have subscribe to your channel.

@@dragont1x5 I appreciate it!

Yeah I'm buying this truck since the summer that buzzer was annoying thanks for the knowledge

Some of the functions that cause the buzzer to make noise just can’t be silenced unfortunately. If your truck is full on fuel and still beeping for low fuel, your fuel level sending unit is likely bad. They’re a common failure on Internationals.

@@TonyTheTruckGuy well the fuel light is not on but it is still beeping I'm just assuming that it's what's for fuel because when I was low in fuel the light came on and shortly after the beeping started but right now my whole dashboard is clear no lights but I'm still beeping

That’s very odd, usually there’s a warning light of some kind on the dash or at least a message by the odometer. If there’s really nothing on then you’ll likely have to bring it to the shop unfortunately to get it checked out.

con la tecla encendida, mantenga presionado el botón "panel arriba" al mismo tiempo que el botón de reinicio "viaje" durante unos segundos como se muestra en el video.

Which ones?

Amber Indicators lights, mirror lights and my dashboard is always on with the ignition key off

Thanks man!

So your truck dies every night? That’s very odd. With the lights turned off and the ignition off, nothing should be on. The LCD screen where the odometer is should stay lit for a minute after you close the door but then it should go out. It’s hard to tell what could be causing that without being able to look at the truck. I would check and fuses and relays related to the body controller or ignition.

Likely isn't die at the other day.

Correct. I believe the 2022 is the MV body style. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a cure for that one.

A few, what do you need help with?

Tony I have a 2010 international prostar. Where is the front AC blower? Is it easy to install ?

What do you mean by “A/C blower”? You mean just the blower motor for the cab? It should be located in front of the passenger seat. You’ll have to remove the plastic panel down by the foot area to access it. I can’t remember for sure but once the panel is removed (which is the hardest part), I believe there’s just 3 or 4 screws that old the blower motor in place. It’s about a 30 min - 1 hour job.

Tony The Truck Guy Tony when I remove the plastic cover on the passenger side there is another cover there. It’s black. I take that off as well?

Yep, keep going until you see the blower motor. It should be black with 2 big wires coming from it and held in place with 3-4 screws.

Yeah it only works on the dock trucks unfortunately

I do believe in the video I said roughly ‘02-up...

Brand name is International...formerly Navistar, AKA Thirteen-letter shit spreader.

Not yet but I will. In the meantime, here is the procedure: 1.) set parking brake 2.) turn key to the “on” position but don’t start 3.) press “cruise on” switch 4.) press “cruise off” switch 5.) press “cruise on” switch 6.) rapidly press the “cruise resume” switch 4 times and hold it down on the 5th time for at least 4 seconds 7.) “oil change” message should clear This might take a few tries to get the pattern down right and sometimes even if you do get it right, you will still need to do it a few times. I’ve actually had a few trucks that just never cleared for some reason. After every attempt, I turn the ignition off and back on. Hope this helps.

Why is yours beeping?
