Wanted this mod as part of making the M998 street legal, which included: adding reverse lights, license plate light, redoing all the lights that did not work, housings filled with mud, bad grounds, broken lenses, etc. Around here, they love to ticket for any reason. Bought one of the overpriced...

I wanted to thank the forum members that guided me on this issue. You all saved me throwing parts at it, saving me lots of $ and aggravation. Much appreciated! It started right up with the two new batteries. In case this information is useful to someone in the future, while the Odyssey is...

Thanks everyone for all the guidance. Last night, I took the one battery that blew the cap to the local Pep Boys that still has one of those "old school" Frankenstein battery testers. that sits on the floor and looks like it 100 years old. As I have seen it in action before, it made some nice...

Thanks for all the tips. I plan on taking both batteries out to get them both tested. They don't have the date checked off on the stickers so I don't know for sure. They are the old Excide ones. I don't know if the prior owner changed them, or if those are the ones that came with it originally...

Got it. So assuming one or both batteries fail the load test at the auto parts store, what is everyone using as a replacement? I am sure the auto parts guys will try to tell me their off-the-shelf car ones will work just fine. The military batteries are hard to come by and close to $600 each...

How would one test it with it on the engine?

I ordered a can of electronics cleaner which says it can be used on motors and alternators, and the like. I will remove the starter and give it a good cleaning and look for anything which might be obscured while it is on the car and covered in dirt. There are a few places in town that say they...

Sorry for the late reply - long day. I looked at the battery compartment - looks good to me. Terminals were tight. No signs anything melted or burnt. Insulation does not look melted. Batteries did not look like they were bulging but I did not remove them. Nothing exploded. Plan is to try to...

Yes, the wait light and break light come on but dim out when i try start. The pop definitely coming below the passenger seat. My wife jumped! The stater is caked in dirt. Probably the original one. Plan is, if the tow truck ever shows, is to try and clean the starter as well as I can on the...

Folks, Once again I need the assistance of the experts here. Was returning from a car show and stopped for diesel and I made the mistake of shutting off the engine. When I attempted to restart we heard a huge pop! Sounded like maybe it came from the battery area under the passenger seat? The...

I bought tires a few months ago, and there was only one set in the entire country that was 37" that would fit my wheels!

Folks - thank you all for the help on this. As sometimes for me, this turned out to be a comedy of errors that was not so funny. Turns out the positive red wire going to the battery directly I was using was defective, invisibly fraid, and although the VOM read 24V, there was just one strand of...

Ok, I have been staring at this for hours, and reran the resistance multiple times. I think the leads going into the wiper motor are as follows: H - high speed +24V L - Low speed +24 P - Unknown - seems always to be infinite to ground, leads #27 & #71 on all switch positions on both units...

I am wondering if I both the new and the old one are both defective! I did some more tests. From the switch, there is a four wire connector that goes to the motors. I pulled the connector off the motor end on each, and measured the resistance from each lead to ground. There is a difference for...

Thank you both for your help. I did a bit more testing and now see a difference between the old and new motor. On the old motor, #27 to ground stays infitite with the switch off. On the new motor the reading is 5.5 ohms with the switch off!?!?!?! I would have expected it to be infinite...

I have done electrical work on civi cars for 25 years, but I am stumped! I voilated the cardnal rule - don't throw (expensive) parts and think it will fix things! Do''oh! I got a new wiper motor and it behaves the same as the old one under all the same tests I ran. So now I am getting...

I'm interested in getting a set. I see some YouTube posts from others on his sets. I see Jeremy is on Facebook - but I refuse to use that junk. I found his business address, but no web site. Any other way of contacting Jeremy to order a set ? Is he a member here? Can someone please PM me his...

I know this modification is not for everyone, especially anyone that wants to keep their HMMWV stock or stealthy. But if you would like to have dome lights that do not need door switches, or are not just controlled by a simple switch to turn them on and off manually, this setup might be for you...

Yes, you were correct. The two input wires at the bottom connector are not what they appeared to be. The "ground" I found at the plug, #71 is for the washer motor and I thought it was a ground for the motor. There is a seperate external bolt for lead #57 that supplies the ground. No wonder I...

This just gets better and better. So the motor I ordered, was supposed to look like my original: But the one I received, is not what mine looks like: So I emailed the vendor to send it back since that one I could get for half what they charged me and I don't want to have to drill new...
