I am having this exact same problem, but on the drivers side. Turn signal illuminates when brakes are pressed. I have also noted though, that when the headlights are on, the turn indicator for the right side on the dash is dimly illuminated. The headlight on the drivers side seems to be normal...

****. Found another problem which I think may be related. Now, the Gen 1 light is on. It is dim when idling, but glow bright and solid when driving. It never did this before this whole issue came up. I looked at all the wires running to the alternator and they seem to be ok. Does this mean the...

WooHoo! She is up and running! Insalled the new solenoid, new battery terminal (melted), and new starter including the support bracket. Starts fine and everything seems ok. :beer: Is there anything else I should check wiring wise since everything got so hot?

Ok. Installed the new solenoid. The old solenoid was just hanging down on the floor. Is it ok to leave the new one hanging down until I can figure out how to mount it? Or does it have to be mounted to work properly?

UPS should be dropping the new starter off today. I also already have the new bolts, bracket, relay, etc. ready to go. Now, just trying to decided If I have enough patience to do this! There is a shop up the street I could tow it to.

Ok. I found all the parts I need, except for the bolt for the bracket to the block (14060613). Anyone have any ideas where I can find one?

Warthog, Do i need to use a shim on the starter that I will be using?

I pulled the starter last nite, and it is toast. Part of the housing is cracked. I will post up some pics tonite.

Does the new starter come with a support bracket?

Ordered the starter, and got an email this morning that it has been shipped. Called NAPA and running over there at lunch to pick up a solenoid. Doghead, do you think I should replace the solenoid and see if the old starter is any good before I put the new one in? Or is it safe to assume the...

The relay for the glowplugs was smooking. Should I replace it too? Is it probably bad? Where do I look to find these fusible links you speak of?

Sorry, I didn't keep the original starter, which now I am kicking myself in the but for. I didn't even think of rebuilding the other one. Since I am new to all this stuff, I guess you live and learn. :cry: Best thing to do now is move forward, so I will order another one from that same place. I...

This is the starter I put in. Should I get another one of these? 24V CUCV DELCO STARTER 10461453 10465015 10479611: eBay Motors (item 360269389521 end time Sep-02-10 14:25:48 PDT) After I do the Doghead mod and replace the starter, what else and in what order do I need to check other things?

Do you think I fried anything else? Does anyone have a starter they would like to sell. I will be honest, I usually have someone else do my work. Not that I probably can't do it, I just really don't enjoy doing it. However, I am tempted to take this one on. Is this a project a newbie like me...

:(I have a 1984 m1009. It has been sitting for some time, and decided to drive it today. After starting it several times with no problems, I started it and the starter would not disengage. As a result got all the cool smoke coming from the truck. I couldn't get the batteries disconnected before...
