On a m939 I had a pcb go bad and the truck kept cranking. I am not a humvee expert but if the glow plug controller doubles as the starter/power relays then that might be your culprit. You can check the ignition switch with a multimeter.
I think the shunt is used for the diagnostics. The regulation voltage lead cones thru the cab power panel, which goes thru the polarity box. Although the fuel solenoid is a better connection, it’s still from the same source. If you are getting an intermittent drop in voltage at the panel, and...
4 batteries. Two 12 volt batteries in series paralleled to another matched series pair. So you have the negative, then between the two series pairs is 12 volt and both series sets make 24 volts.
The alternator cables go to the same terminals on the polarity box that the battery cables do (in). The cables going to the cab come off the other terminals on the polarity box (out). You have a big 24v batt lead right to the starter and a big ground to the starter from the batt box. All of the...
Something is going on there. There are separate cables going to the starter from the batteries. Then you have 12 and 24 volt cables going into the cab thru the polarity box. And a pair of 12 and 24 volt cables from the alternator to the batts.
They are still worth money. Good chance your regulator is good and the alt is not. Since it works for a second or two when you start the truck. Dont get rid of any of it. Peek in with a light see if maybe a piece of something fell into the alt. Take it off and shake it.
