Abstract: A cab chassis vehicle and a method of assembling a cab-chassis vehicle are provided. A chassis is sub-assembled by connecting a mounting bracket for a truck body to a frame rail via a fastener, installing a chassis-side vehicle harness, and installing a chassis-side body wiring harness. A cab is sub-assembled by installing a connector plate to cover an aperture on an outer panel of the cab, installing a cab-side body wiring harness, connecting the cab-side body wiring harness to the connector plate, and installing a cab-side vehicle harness. The cab is assembled to the chassis to provide a cab-chassis vehicle by connecting the chassis-side body wiring harness to the connector plate, connecting the chassis-side vehicle harness to the cab-side vehicle harness.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a system including a battery cable and at least one vehicle controller is provided. The battery cable includes a detection shield positioned over an inner conductor. The at least one vehicle controller is programmed to: receive a first signal indicative of current or voltage of the detection shield of the battery cable and to compare the current or voltage to a predetermined value. The at least one vehicle controller is further programmed to generate an alert indicative of warning that the battery cable is exhibiting a failure prior to a short circuit condition occurring at the battery cable in the event the current or voltage is not equal to the predetermined value.
