    Wait light troubleshooting

    Check those pages (440 & 880) to see "to and from" circuit or pull the wiring diagrams and follow along. The 27 circuit feeds 24 Volts to all gauges... so the dash voltmeter could be a clue. Another... does the emergency / park "BRAKE" led work. It's on the same 27 circuit. Another clue if you...

    m998 temp gauge trouble shooting

    Want to help the new guy... but already gave bad info. ME BAD..."Search Forums" to find problem discussed and "fixes" "Poking and prodding" likely will not result in a fix with understanding of what's going on, BUT is good to get familiar with "this and that" Most if not ALL problems have...

    m998 temp gauge trouble shooting

    Which one do you want to fix first? Two separate problems. Look back thru the "find threads" for Fan runs and or Temp gauge problems. TON's of info. Stumped too, CAMO

    Push button light switch

    That's a lot of technology in that switch just to turn on the lights IMO. Clap on...Clap off, CAMO

    Soft Doors vs X doors - what do you prefer?

    Water, dust, noise, visibility, rattles, weak locking mechanism, possible theft (can be remedied), shipping $$$, and costing more everyday. Your choice. It's the HumV experience, CAMO

    Wait light troubleshooting

    Don't mine trying to help via interweb here on the SS Site. 🆘 Preliminary investigation of all the simple stuff is a good way to get a feel of what you got and what were trying to do or fix. So the fact is... it never did / could work. That would have been helpful up front. LED is just to...

    Wait light troubleshooting

    My response to the part in blue in post # 3 copied here. The wait indicator is an LED with a internal 300 ohm current limiting resistor. Wire # 27 is 24 volts from the "RUN" position. The other wire #571 is pulled low (to ground) in the "control box" to illuminate. They can and do go bad. Easy...

    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    50 post later and I thought one had this fixed. I get the frustration..DOH. You should be on this end of the thread. ALL the data, narration, documentation, parts changed ( maybe a picture, part number or vendor) and video was nice, voice over better. Walk us thru the shit show just like a...

    Need help understanding the HMMWV cooling circuit

    Would have been nice to have a narration to the video as I didn't see what your trying to demonstrate. Seeing fan going round and round. Looking for clutch movement and if you were flipping the switch ON / OFF didn't catch it. Maybe my bad eyesight. Now I can't hear after the video, CAMO

    Alternator Pulley Alignment 6.2L

    I am not sure what you have going on here. Not even sure what day it is...LOL Pulley on generator / alternator seated correctly? Did someone swap out alternator bracket ? (not sure if there are options here?) Right location with the ears and spacer. Cool yellow and blue diagram. SS 60 Amp...

    Alternator Pulley Alignment 6.2L

    WOW and it didn't wind up some other parts. What AMP rating alternator? Guessing it's a 60. If it is might want to check for a broken mounting ear or the left out spacer. Not a baseball term. Just guessing. Need pictures and more data. Story of your rig and any mods to help figure it out...

    3 speed oil filter help

    Free guessing here...What is the fluid in the air filter? Couldn't see see the bolt clearly. (is it correct never know) Filter does wiggle wobble as shown. Check plastic tube for out of round and cracks. Two O rings OK. Some think a better fit up to not suck air on a bad pick up tube. One...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    Setting in my easy chair and fumbling with the numbers and a beer (putting all the post together) I came to the conclusion that one couldn't blow or suck enough air with ONE "over the counter fan" to do the job in a stock configuration. Kind of a factory HumV guy here... So after playing with...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    Not looking to beat anyone over the head here...so put your kelval on or thinking cap LOL Here in the Mojave Desert, but could be anywhere... HIGH temps into the 118 range pulling a trailer or cruising around town in stop and go traffic, the OEM fan set-up just follows along on demand. Doesn't...

    Functional electric fan conversion.

    The statement highlighted above has me thinking 🤔... That's the best thing that could happen if my fan failed... short of snapping the blade off. At least I am driving home with a cool engine ☃. Electric fan ??? blow a fuse, burn up a motor, wire falls off ??? Where's the back-up there? I...
