    M1079 electrical help please.

    Well we got working relays and breakers in all the right holes and it runs. Now to fix the hydraulic system for the spare and cab. Is there anything that needs to be engaged in the cab to run the system? Or push the pump button and set the controls to the item you want to move?

    M1079 electrical help please.

    So the primer was firm. We just jumped the fuel shutoff solenoid and it fired right off. It is not getting power. The “stop” emergency light on the dash cluster stays on. Is there a low coolant switch? The coolant is super low.

    M1079 electrical help please.

    Well it seems to be just bad dash relays and circuit breakers. I now have power to the dash and it will turn over good but won’t fire. I’m sure that’s from sitting for 3-4 years.

    M1079 electrical help please.

    It’s the idiot light panel in the top of the dash. The ctis was labeled and plugged in. I will suggest to unplug it if he wants me to come troubleshoot it again.

    M1079 electrical help please.

    Thank you. The small display box on the dash “ idiot light” I guess was unplugged when he bought the truck. Does that mean something is possibly bypassed or does that not have anything to do with starting? We plugged it in but it did not light up.

    M1079 electrical help please.

    Thank you! The spare is off and the rack is down so hopefully that will provide access. Also how big of a deal are the battery types? He has “regular pickup truck “ size batteries. Is that not goi mg to cut it? Do they have to be 24v or anything special?

    Awesome, thank you. So what should my next be if I continue to troubleshoot this monster? Is any of the potentially affected wiring under the cab? He is also having trouble with the hydraulic system. He thinks it needs bled?
