  If the Jost Accessories display is non-functional after starting, there are several potential causes. First, check the plug connections for the cabling between the fifth wheel coupling and the electronic display, ensuring all contacts are uniformly engaged and correctly connected. Also, inspect the 1 A automotive fuse and replace it if defective. Next, verify the voltage supply to the connection cable: the white cable should be connected to terminal 15 (+12 V or +24 V ignition ON), and the black cable to terminal 31 (earth). Finally, check the vehicle battery and charge or replace it if it's too weak.

Why does the jost JSK Accessories indicator change when driving?

  If the indicator on the Jost Accessories display changes while driving or after ignition is on with a coupled semi-trailer, it could be due to several reasons. The fifth wheel coupling may not be adjusted correctly or could be worn, so check and adjust it according to its installation and operating instructions. Also, the king pin might be worn beyond its maximum wear limit, requiring replacement, and the locking mechanism setting on the fifth wheel coupling should be checked. Ensure the king pin sensor is correctly installed according to the sensor system repair instructions. Lastly, check the plug connections for the cabling between the fifth wheel coupling and the electronic display to ensure they are correctly engaged.

  If the Jost Accessories display does not switch off after uncoupling, the king pin sensor and/or semi-trailer sensor might be soiled by grease or other dirt, so clean them. Alternatively, the sensor set may be defective due to a cable break or sensor issue. In this case, check the sensor set according to the repair instructions “Replacing the sensor set” and replace it if necessary.
