    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    You are probably right about the "Control box is smoked or went for a swim", because I had her steering wheel deep in a creek last year. I bet that was the root of the problem... I found the following control box and harness on ebay. Think I should start by replacing these? My harness looks...

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    Hi Guys, I know it has been a while on this post, but I discovered something today that might be related... I ended up installing a master kill switch in order to overcome any potential shorts in the harness, etc... This seemed to be working fine for my battery drain issue, so I thought I...

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    Wow!!! I found the EXACT same issue with my vent line! The entire line is filled with a white sludge of some type which has clogged it up... Going to the parts store now to get new line. Thanks!

    Thanks Ryan, I will go ahead and replace all of that while I've got the tank off!

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    10-4... I just need to also fix what ever is my fuel deliver issue. I've already replaced the mechanical pump, the injector pump, and replaced the stock fuel filter system with a hi-flow Racor, and although the problem is not quite as bad, without the electric pump it will still go dead on me...

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    I tried to twist it off, but it appears to be crimped on with no threads. Can you tell anything from these pics:

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    Okay guys, so I've finally got back around to working on the HMMWV again. The first thing I have done is drop the fuel tank, which was actually more of a pain in the ars than I had expected it to be! Once I finally got the tank off the truck, and opened up the access plate on top, I was...

    10-4, will do... It will probably be a while before I will have the time to do this. Thanks!

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    This issue has already killed 4 batteries at this point, so I cannot afford to spend $250 on another set of new batteries until I can identify and correct the issue causing the reversed polarity. The unidentified wires are the positive and negative leading to the 24v-12v converter. The fuse to...

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    It is running on a brand new generator now, and it did this the first time prior to the replacement. Below is a pic of my setup. The top battery is the rear, and the bottom is the front:

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    The first option in this article cannot be the case, so it must have something to do with number 2. Here is what he says about #2: "The second possibility is reversing polarity after the activation process. This is also rare, as it requires a sequence of errors to be present after the...

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    Okay Guys, I know it has been a while on this post, but I purchased the following 24v-to-12V converter from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003P17X8I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I installed it in my HMMWV and both the LED lights and the following in-line fuel pump...

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    It would stall at high RPM's over a 30-60 second duration. I would have to sit at idle to allow the fuel supply to catch up before I could run again. Then eventually it would not crank due to lack of fuel. I have replaced both the mechanical pump and the injector pump, but still have the same...
