Dont know about Man but Mercedes( of which Man is a cheap replica with bits that fall off and crap electrics) have 2 microswitches on the lock pins on the cab rear mounts.
Usually its the o/s switch that sticks so either push it out off its mounting(little square box with 2 wires)and twiddle with it till the light goes out or give the mouting locating pin a good whack with a hammer to free the reed switch.
Should have bought a proper german piece of rubbish.Mercedes.
That will teach you.
Good tips thanks,
I’ve seen one come back from a MAN dealer with a paper clip fitted.
With the constant warning light it will hude more serious defects.
Its a common problem on them, mine did it and so have quite a few others in our fleet. Its caused by a broken wire, if its on a r+m contract call in a dealer, its only a 15min job. Just might take them a couple of hours to get around to doing it.
