If you find out let me know.
I was thinking about bringing my gun into work and shooting the dashboard a few times

No need for that, rain leaks right in through that vent above the windshield.

Mine broke and the cover driver on my route wrote it up while I was on vacation. I have never felt such pure blind rage then when I got to my first stop that Monday morning and heard the four way chime screeching in my ear.

Get nice with your mechanic and he might hook you up. Usually they say no they can’t tamper with safety equipment. The fuse box is right next to the dashboard by the driver side window. Start pulling stuff out and see what happens.

They got a few new 800s in my building and offered me one. I politely declined and kept my 2010 Freightliner with its broken flasher/headlight beeper and leaky windshield.

I know exactly what the flasher fuse looks like. Seen mechanic replace it when my flashers didn’t work in the morning.
Doesn’t do much good if yo ur flashers don’t work at all though…

you can take the dash off with a Phillips head screw driver. Cover the relay with tape.
If you were the retirement route driver I would’ve done the same thing. Can’t have it too easy, if you already run out of breaks lol
4 Philips screws to remove the Gauge Cluster. the regular beep comes from a little speaker close to the right side heat vent. It's easy to find when the Gauge Cluster is pulled back and the hazards on. Put a piece of tape on it. The long beep and the beep when your lights are on come from the back of the Gauge Cluster. You'll notice a small vent on the back that you can put a piece of tape over. I do this to all the package cars I drive. It doesn't get rid of the noise, just makes it tolerable.

Yes, I know I'm working late.
Drill bit works better than tape. Make friends with your mechanic and he can hook you up. My brown tank is silent.

Question is, why does Freightliner feel it necessary to make beeping noises that can pass for torture? I thought cruel and unusual punishment was illegal?
The beep only needs to let you know your flashers are on at a reasonable volume. The new Ford's have it right. By being so ear piercing, we're inclined not to use flashers if we are not on a very busy street.
