    M1008 Positive battery cable melting

    Love that idea. What kind of establishment might one acquire such a thing? The part you are describing is the part I need to replace but I'm having trouble finding one.

    M1008 Positive battery cable melting

    copy and past mistake I corrected that error. According to the diagram in the -20 it's the ENG WRG HARNESS BLOCK. I'll get the starter looked at but I want to try a new battery cable as well so I'm looking for the correct part and a place to order it from.

    M1008 Positive battery cable melting

    Here we go. Obviously things are unplugged and loose; I've been messing with it. You can see the melted cable and how small it is; also the corrosion in the first one.

    M1008 Positive battery cable melting

    I'm trying to upload images but it's not working. How could it be the starter? What does the starter have to do with the voltmeter being in the yellow?

    M1008 Positive battery cable melting

    My dad did the wiring of the converter so I'll check but I'm pretty sure the converter was necessary. My explanation is off if anything I imagine. Why would it just now be dying if it's been that way for months and functioning fine? and why at the same time as the heater? I'll check the fuse...

    gen 1 light on with heat

    The same thing happened to me. Did you figure out what the problem was as well as the fix? May not be related but my CD player lost power the day before.

    m1008 Gen 1 light comes on and want go off

    I used a 24v to 12v converter tapped from the Driver side alternator or Battery 1 rather. Heater is not in the same step down. I do have the TMs if those are adequate for this type of thing. They can be a bit vague in other areas, imho. I probably should of looked first before asking.

    m1008 Gen 1 light comes on and want go off

    I think I am experiencing a similar problem with my '85 M1009. It is getting very cold here in NW Arkansas suddenly and the CD player I installed stopped turning and then the fan a day later. When I turn the fan to any setting the Gen 1 light comes on but the fan does not come on. Are there...
