Description
PAI 740250 is a normally-closed cruise-kickoff low air pressure switch that opens at 2-6 PSI to disable cruise control when the brake system loses pressure on Freightliner Class 8 trucks. With a 1/8-27 NPT thread and 2-blade connector, it is a direct aftermarket replacement for Freightliner FSC1749-2134 and crosses to Automann 577.46604, Newstar S-20678, and World American WA06-0025.
Signs You Need a New Low Air Pressure Switch
- Cruise control fails to engage or kicks off unexpectedly
- Low air warning light stays on or fails to illuminate
- Cruise control still active when air pressure is low (dangerous)
- Intermittent or erratic cruise control behavior
