Ok, took starter solenoid from the battery compartment out of the system and guess what... Started right up. I guess the hot side was burnt up and wouldn't let the voltage go through. Thanks for the help

Yeah I should've been more clear about the "box." As I have been talking with you about this I was considering wiring up the batteries without the solenoid in the system and see if that works. Because if there is absolutely no power after the solenoid probably means something is funky in the...

The click happens in the box after I turn the key on the switch and then nothing after that click from the box. No power to anything and no engine turning over. It has been a few weeks for me to have started it. I have been trying to diagnose by myself, but first time diesel and M998, so not...

Switch is basically me putting a key in like an igntion and turning it to the on position and then when done turning it back off and taking key out. After I turn it on a click should be heard in the battery compartment, but when I go to start it it won't start like its not getting the rest of...

Do you have to change the glow plugs when putting a new PCB or EESS box in?

If i swap out my box, either PCB or EESS, do I need to change the glow plugs? I left my ignition kill switch on by accident and now rig won't start. Brand new batteries and still nothing.....

All brand new batteries. Havent load tested yet. How would I attach the jumper?

I get that, but I can't even start it when I have it neutral initially....

Is there a way to bypass the neutral safety switch because I recently left my ignition kill switch on and killed the batteries. After I changed batteries nothing happens. The solenoid in battery compartment clicks, but when I hit rocker switch to start nothing happens. No lights no nothing.

Yeah probably would work better. I just saw someone with the same item i had installed and thought he might have some insights.

It is in neutral with parking brake engaged because I have a 3 speed with no park. I think it may be just a battery issue because it was completely dead when I took it to autozone to get it fully charged. The acid in it may be too low to hold a charge for too long. I do keep it on a trickle...

Ok, I got a keyed ignition switch like yours installed and had left it on overnight by accident and now my rig wont start. I have tried everything from batteries to slaving in another PCB/GPC setup. What am I missing because I have a solenoid just like yours?

I knew that, but just thought I hooked the batteries back up the way I took them out....

I meant, so it sounds like I may be the idiot there.....

So it sounds like I may be there idiot. When I get off work I will try swapping the terminals around and go from there....
