Hey Guys, My M1031 was converted to 12v, box scrapped by an imbecile and I'm having some electrical starting issues, you can see the link below. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/update-melted-16-fusible-link-won%E2%80%99t-start.214514/ I'm wondering what I've missed? This #16 fusible...

UPDATE: So it cranked over when I reattached #16 (not #6 like I thought it was) momentarily until it started. I'm still baffled though as this was connected all along before it melted. Hey guys, I’m wondering what this Number 16 fusible link goes to/ does? Mine has been attached to the...

NEVERMIND NEVERMIND.... It was the ignition switch!!!

Preface Info: - The starter works, I crawled under the truck and arched the starter with a tire iron and it turned over. - there is 12 volts of power to the purpleish pink ignition wire when the key is turned fwd all the way. Hey guys, So starting issues with my daily driver truck.... it is a...

Thank you so much everyone for all your help. I figured it out! The glow plug switch needed to be powered not grounded. And the glow plug relay needed a ground. I also have some glow plugs that are bad and I’m gonna switch the connections to be able to use normal size Bosch glow plugs

Here’s the wires roscocommon said to remove. I think I might have removed the 2 wrong ones. You see the big post has a red wire that has a a ring terminal that goes on both posts. I removed that and the other red on the small post. I think I was supposed to remove the small post only wires. The...

Thank you so much and I’ll post some pics later today. So I hooked everything up last night and now when you turn the key no dash lights turn on and you don’t here that buzz sound. However the starter button does activate the starter. so I’m guessing that: On step 9,10,11 they say to disconnect...

Hey man sorry for the delay… I was trying to get my 6.5 trucks going.. anyways. So I just saw this video: He put in a manual glow plug switch and he said it needs to go to the relay to switch and switch to ground. My truck.. the damn kid put the ground wire back to the pink wire that goes to...

Hello All! So my glow plug button stopped working and I don’t know why. Here’s the story on this M1031... I bought it from a kid that unfortunately scrapped the box, generator and 24v system. They added a manual glow plug button and then also a starter button next to it. They said they could...

no worries on the resistors. It was the bulbs! Everything works perfect. UPDATE: I was wrong. It only works when headlights are OFF! When the headlights are on the flashers won’t work. Now I guess I’ll try that reverse polarity flasher

I just didn’t see the point in getting the Hella’s they were just too expensive for me and they didn’t come with LED’s. I really like the ones I got, they seem to be the same just off brand.

SUCCESS!!! It was the damn bulbs!!!! The: JDM ASTAR High Performance Super Bright 1:1 Design 3020 Chips 1157 2057 7508 Amber LED Bulbs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NQWSF5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_PCYAFF7MG70TGD340Q0Q worked perfect!! Thank you so much. Crazy to think it was the bulbs.I...

Thanks a lot! I’ll give these’s a try. Maybe they’ll make the front LED flashers work. Sorry to ask but If you have any pics on how these are connected to the front flashers that would be huge. Car electrical just isn’t a strength of mine. To me it looks like those blue things turns into a plug...

Right on thx man. That’s great you got those flashers to work.. makes sense why I couldn’t find them, bummer. Ya I wanted the classic look but didn’t want to pay a $100 for just the headlights with no bulbs. This one works great with LED Bulbs: GS Power's OEM style 7 x 6 inch...

thx brother man. I might have to try this route as using the reverse polarity electronic flasher didn’t work at all. I’ve never seen these resistors before, would you mind showing me a link of the ones you’re referring to? Thx in advance.
