    M1009 Parking lamp/turn signal socket.

    Warthog, I tried that, would it be okay if their sockets take a different size bulb?

    Hi guys, Anyone know where I can get a parking lamp/turn signal socket for the passenger side, front end of a M1009? Mine needs to be replaced, the contacts in the socket broke off.. Atlanta area preferred so I can get it right away, and fix it right away. Any ideas would be greatly...

    1983 CUCV m1009 - what to look for

    1983 CUCV M1009 what to look for Hello Cris, I would suggest looking for a 1985 or younger M1009 CUCV. And not a 1983 or 1984. I have heard that technically speaking something about the engine and/or its parts are designed better. As I do not remember the exact details, but I do remember...

    Hi guys, Thanks for the advice and information. I just fixed the problem. I simply replace both amber parking lamp/turn signal bulbs, and that did it. Now both turn signals/parking lamps blink and work perfectly. Good day...

    M1009 directional control/turn signal switch

    Steel, Thank you. But I may not have to now, if I replace the bulb that is burned out. When I replace the bulb, if that does not solve the problem, then something else may be the problem, then I will go from there. Night.

    M1009 directional control/turn signal switch

    Rich, In my M1009, the turn signals and wiper are controlled by the same lever/switch... So it may be difficult. If I had to replace that switch. Hmmm... Thank you.

    M1009 directional control/turn signal switch

    Hello Carnac, It is the switch, not the handle from what I believe. I can turn the left turn signal on and it blinks. When I turn the right turn signal on, the indicator on the dash comes on and stays on, the bulbs on the front and back end outside stay on as well, and none of them blink...

    Is it possible for a 6.2 to runaway, safety measures?

    Hello, I do not know if that type of runaway issue can happen with a 6.2 in a CUCV. But in CUCV's, the starter relay can become stuck open, and make your starter runaway, until it burns out. So the best way to stop that from happening is to replace the stock starter relay with a different...

    Seafoam question

    Hello Guys, Thanks for the extra information. That is all I wanted to know. I would not think running them together in the same vehicle would do any harm. Especially since one would go into the oil and the other would go into the fuel. Just my $0.02 cents... Good day...
