    So i had this white light come on earlier today. I haven’t been able to find any diagrams or videos or anything like this in my owners manual. Closest thing i could find was that its an indicator light for the allison trans. I know these white lights are supposed to come on before starting the truck but this individual white light came on after about 4 hrs of driving through snow. Anyone have an idea of what it might be? I cant get an obd2 scanner until Monday so any feedback will be appreciated

    This is the light thats on when running

    This is the pattern of the lights when i turn the key to start it

    I looked around. Those upper quadrants are warning telltales for optional equipment. I went through a couple of online owners manuals and found no warning lights that are white in colour. I suspect those spots are actually blank with no option and something is shorting out to cause the cluster to turn them on. I can't tell from your picture if anything is there, it should be a little picture of something. Are these just a solid white square?
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    I would say a cluster issue, or an input wire for an option that isn't there might be shorting due to the snow/moisture.
