mistaken1, The red wire at the starter relay is giving 24-25 volts.
The purple wire is not getting any juice with the key in the ON position. It actually shows a ground.
I replaced the original starter relay as per the Doghead mod. I just tested a few things:
The battery cable is getting 24v at the starter solenoid.
The Starter relay is getting 24v.
No power is coming from the "purple" post on the starter relay whether the key is in the ON or OFF position...
I have been working on my starter problem for 2 months now. At first I believed it was the starter- pulled it found it was a 12V DD. Replaced it with a new 28MT gear reduction starter. Started right up. On the third startup all I hear is click. I put a new solenoid in because I know I shorted...
My M1009 has one origininal, I think. wing window -Black with lock button. The other side has been replaced with an older "Wing"- no lock button. I am actually happy with this arrangement as I have an 73 Chevy C20 pick-up with these wing windows and I have been able to let myself in when I lock...
Check to see if the transmission modulator is connected and the hose is sound. You need to probably post more info on what is happening. Not shifting to 2nd from low? Not going into any gear? Won't move in drive or Reverse?
I see that my ignition can be turned without a key in it sometimes. I know I can get a new ignition lock cylinder for under $20; but I was hoping to keep it stock so I don't have to have two keys, or have to have the door locks rekeyed to match the new cylinder lock.
Anyone know where I can get...
How about making a rope harness that runs from the garage ceiling over a pulley to the four corners of the top (4 strands). A "J" shaped hook attached to the end of each strand "hooks"under each corner of the top. Unbolt the top. Pry up each corner and break the seal. Slip the hook (3/16"x1"...
Clipped the Battery cable lugs and replaced them with 3/8" Flat spade connectors for the new 31 group batteries with the screw down posts. Soldered all and shrink tubing to clean them up. It has been raining here, so I still await a couple of sunnny days to bolt the starter and new solenoid it...
I have been looking around to get a trailer and I am getting mixed signals on what would be easier to pull and back-up. I thought the M416 was the better match; but was recently told that the M101A2 was easier to "see over".
I don't want to pull around loads of gravel or anything, just a 90 Lb...
Thanks Mohawk Dave, this is just the reason why all questions should be tolerated even if asked before. Starting Fluid? :shock: you won't find this fix in the TM9.
Yeah, eBay has 'em; but I bought a new chrome one for like $12. The whole crank. Sanded it down to the copper plate and scuffed it. Then the whole thing was shot with self-etching primer- like 4-5 coats. Followed with the flat black same number of coats. They take a beating and ever now-and-then...
QuickSilver thanks for completing the thread with a happy ending. I hate to find an interesting thread and read 3 pages only to find it unresolved.
Feel free to post any tips on the R&R, after getting reamed on a transmission job on my wife's car earlier this month, I think I'll pull my tranx...
Are you looking for an OEM set or just something reliable to keep your cargo cover in place? I bought mine a few years ago from a guy that had a torched set in his yard. He rewelded and ground them down. The shipping was fair. I got all the parts except for the rail that attaches to the...
Whatever the reason, I am glad I am able to buy and drive one even all these years later. I wish the HMMWVs would be retired as soon to the public... for any reason.
Hey ABN173, I come up to Ft. Lewis every 3-4 months with my dad. We go to the PX and Commissary and class 6 store. I love being...
