    Side markers do not work after installing led tail lights

    They are plastic lenses. I am hopeful that the light bulb on the passenger front is causing all this. I was told that truck light leds require flash box unit today. I am unsure how that would affect side markers. I will try to put my old lights back to see if there is difference.

    Side markers do not work after installing led tail lights

    I was told Humvees don’t have fuses. I checked the grounds on both lights. It’s all grounded. Markers seem to be grounded, two new lights look grounded. I was thinking the light bulb in the front side marker is causing all this. I bought replacement marker it shipped today.

    hmmwv white smoke

    Worth a shot. Ordered cold advance. It can’t be the coolant leak because the Humvee mechanic I spoke with said if you do throttle lock and it stops smoking it’s TPS or cold advance. Also there is no missing coolant and it does not bubble up or build pressure. No blow by in the engine as well...

    hmmwv white smoke

    Previous owner installed smart box from BD customs. He was the one that changed glow plugs. He did replace injectors as well but forgot to put a washer on one or couple. Not sure if that matters. Maybe will give glow plugs a crack. Someone told me could be injector pump.

    hmmwv white smoke

    hmmwv white smoke

    when it warms up runs great. If I pull on throttle lock seems to smoke less. Once engine warms up some is gone. Today it smoked like crazy when I started it. When warmed up it was gone. Someone mentioned maybe TPS or Thermal advance switch.

    hmmwv white smoke

    Black dog customs glow plugs less then 8 month old. Some told me it’s advance throttle or bad injector that’s leaking. When I pull throttle lock a little back smoke disappears
