    M1009 Lights Work, Won't Start--Nothing when you turn key

    I truely think that this is where the problem is along this circuit, but I did replace the starter switch. Looking at the old one, there really isn't anything that can go wrong with these short of burning up and melting or having a wire break. The new one did not have the heavy duty copper and...

    M1009 Lights Work, Won't Start--Nothing when you turn key

    I checked all of the connections on the firewall. But I will double check the 12 volt post above the glow plug solenoid and get back with you. Thanks for the help.

    M1009 Lights Work, Won't Start--Nothing when you turn key

    Both batteries are brand new, but I will check as you recommend. The starter is a brand new starter, and after replacing the starter and having the same problem, I am beginning to wonder if there was anything wrong with the old starter. The procedures to check the starter selenoid and starter...

    VA DMV now rejecting GL's SF-97

    GL has always issued me the SF97 and the reassigned FL title to me. I have never had a problem with VA DMV when I took both the SF 97 and the FL title into the DMV in Hampton. If I were you, I would ask GL if they would get you the FL title.

    M1009 Lights Work, Won't Start--Nothing when you turn key

    I posted early spring with this problem and am just getting around to my second attempt to fix this problem. Was running fine and while driving down the road, it just stopped running. All headlights, BO lights and turn signals work, but when you turn the key--nothing, no GP relay click, not...

    Electric Gremlin-- M1009

    RE: Re: RE: Electric Gremlin-- M1009 My alternators were charging fine before it died. Both batteries have 12.7 volts. Not all of the fusible links have an open end where I can touch with a meter, so testing the fusible links is going to be tough. I'm going to look at the wiring diagrams...

    GL Trouble

    I think GL paid Uncle Sugar like $190 for my M1009 and sold it to me for $2600. Is scrap metal going for that kind of profit? Just asking--I don't know.

    Electric Gremlin-- M1009

    Re: RE: Electric Gremlin-- M1009 Thanks for the quick response. I have power at the bus bars on the firewall behind the rear battery. I was thinking the same thing as you about the fusible links. I don't see any that look swollen or melted, but that doesn't always mean anything. But, do...

    Electric Gremlin-- M1009

    Ok, I've followed the -20 and -30 and cannot seem to get any power when the key is turned to the run or start position. Any "new" advice is greatly appreciated. Here is the history. Truck started at Lejeune auction site. Drove it 5 1/2 hours back to Virginia with no problems. Have been...

    GL Trouble

    RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: GL Troub From my research, the SF 97s are created when the Gov't received them in Lansing, MI and the gov't turns them over to GL when the property passes from Gov't to GL. In other words, GL does have the SF 97 when they take possesion of...

    Has anyone Bypassed the Starter Relay?

    This starter relay bypass mod sounds like an ounce of prevention. Does anyone have any photos or step-by-step instructions for the shade tree mechanic? Thanks in advance, Tracy

    GL Trouble

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: GL Trouble How about has GL done due diligence in refunding the 6.5% NC sales tax back to customers who won vehicles sold at GL sites in NC? GL charged me sales tax for my M1009 auctioned at Lejeune. I was already aware that NC does not collect sales tax on new or used...

    GL Trouble

    Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: GL Trouble You are selling the company line. I spoke with your Title Clerk in Sep 07 and she said she was THE Title Dept, ie, she was the only person doing ALL SF 97 requests fore every vehicle sold by GL. It is no wonder it takes over 30 days to get an SF 97...
