    Electrical outlet, rear bumper.

    So after playing cat and mouse between the CUCV and trailer, it turns out that the problem was with the ground on the trailer. The interesting thing is that the lights worked with the civy truck yesterday but with the CUCV, the trailer had other plans.

    Electrical outlet, rear bumper.

    Having checked out the wiring on the plug, B is supposed to be Right turn/stop and the J pin Left turn/stop. On my 1028 it is reversed. I am wondering about multiple grounds though. I do use the trailer with my civy truck and everything is peachy. Since I use a ground through the truck and the...

    Electrical outlet, rear bumper.

    Thanks Barrman for lining me out on that! Does it make sense that the four pins I am using (BDEJ) are connected through ground? D-pin is listed as the primary ground, by using the buzzer on my volt meter, I get sound at B-E-J pins as well. Each circuit works correctly, till I hook up the...

    Electrical outlet, rear bumper.

    Have a question concerning the electrical outlet on the rear bumper. I am trying to use this for the lights on my M101A1. Finding out that I have a bleed over from several of the circuits and is affecting the operation of the lights. After testing the plug, I found that I have 4 grounds (BDEJ)...

    M200A1 VS M101 as wood hauler with Power Wagon

    You are looking for me! I did swap out the axle since I had the five lug and went to eight lug wheels. The trailers springs are flat each time I load the trailer. Just keep in mind about controlling the trailer with the power wagon. The link above will take you there!

    Gen 2 voltmeter relay and another.

    I was going to mention what warthog said about the indicator lights, while your at it with the dash apart cleaning the contacts will save a lot of headache before you put it all back together. Pencil eraser work well to clean up the contact points. Also, corrosion can form on the bulbs...

    No isolated ground ??

    Just to let you know, I have the same problem with my #2 alternator. Just a dull glow being on, usually at speed. One thing to check is the voltage output of you alternators. I have mine narrowed down to an over charge at 29 volts to the batteries. So basically I have a regulator problem inside...

    Weird starting issue

    Which adapters are you referring to? Glow plugs? First if it is warm enough, the glow plug system is not necessary. If you shut if down for 15 mins. and went to start again, the gp (glow plugs) may or may not be used. As for the system itself, the gp's have a relay (on the firewall next to the...

    bad day electrically

    Weird starting issue

    Diesel are relatively simple, Air+Fuel+Compression(21:1 in your case)=Power. That is the simple way of looking at the diesel engine. You have two pumps, one is down on the pass. side front of the block. that is your lift pump. Looks real similar to the gas chevy fuel pumps. The other is your...

    Be careful with jacks

    That goes for floor jacks as well. You never know when hydraulics may fail. On that note check your fluid in your jacks. Glad your to hear your safe and sound!

    Flashing gen 2 light

    I have the same problem with my #2 gen. I have it narrowed down to the voltage regulator inside the alternator. Basically what is happening with mine, is an over-charge issue. That alternator is putting out 29 volts. With that in mind, check the volts coming out of the #2 alternator (gen)...
