    Did you state keyed or standard military switch? Either way a fouled switch could hang in the start position and keep the solenoid engaged. On start, 24 volts goes straight thru box to starter solenoid coil. Any box if water damaged can have shorts and failure point. Not seeing it is hard...

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    Not so much pinched or cut... but there are contact areas (small button) that when the windshield is up, come together. Age, rotting rubber and corrosion work at making for a bad connection. Many owners never see them or lower the windshield. Couple of these... connectors (top and bottom)...

    M1165

    Could be a problem ?? Be sure the cold advance and the injector control leads are going to the right spots. The one with the ribs on the Packard is the cold advance... Go to the rear on the pump. Easy to swap or flip, CAMO
