    Humvee Fan Fighting with Thermostat? (almost always on but temps are good)

    HMMWV ignition wiring

    Tip of the day......... B= BATTERY R= RUN S= START Letters are molded / raised near the switch terminals. Some of guys have that figured out, But thought it should be written. 123 ABC. Now let's hot wire the truck, CAMO

    Steering wheel- A0 to A2 style

    Well, you must have one of the newer wi-fi horns. NOW everyone going to want one. LOL Really... There is a wire thru the steering shaft with a connection for the button. It plugs right in. The wire does not pull out far (just enough to get fingers on it)and make the press on fit with what...

    Go easy with the HI PRESSURE water back wash. Unless one wants to buy a new radiator. CAMO

    What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

    What was the reason to pull them from bumper ?? That was a bit of work there. Adding tire carrier or ?? <<<< Curious bear wanting to know, CAMO

    Steering wheel- A0 to A2 style

    Do you have the springy round grounding clip (ITEM 6) around the cone / stem of the button, going into the post, where the packard like connector is? You also have to get a hold of the center (female) connector down in the post, pull it up and out a bit to attach it to the button contact...

    Fan Clutch O-Rings - 24 volt fan options?

    🤔 Back with the thinking cap on 🤔 Shouldn't be a problem to add an electric fan to the HumV. Lots of room on top or even in the fan shroud box. Adding another temperature switch of your design range easy too, even a manual override switch. Again not so sure why 🤔 Diesel engines...

    Fan Clutch O-Rings - 24 volt fan options?

    Thinking out loud here 🤔 To spin the fan on a HmwV that can move the air needed to cool it takes about 8 horse power. (read that somewhere) It's no wonder it sounds like a "wind tunnel" when it kicks in and with the drop in HP. (8 HP leaf blower) All components working as they should (key...

    Front springs needed, opinions on snow plow springs

    Not a ad or an endorsement. Plow spring on the front of my rig with Luverne heavy brush guard. Rides like stiff heavy duty truck on road. On the trail like wagon buck board. You don't want to hit or come down hard on them. Differently little spring action. Lifted the rig 1 1/2 inches from...

    M998 with helmet top fitting in a 7ft Garage door.

    Just measured mine. 80 inches +/- air pressure in tires and suspension set up. Should clear. Going to be close, CAMO

    AM General parts website

    OK Perry Mason. GOOD CALL. That will get them thinking. Stand tall on policy and go right out and do the opposite. What's up MR. T, CAMO

    A2 M1123 - Troubleshooting Stop Lamp Switch

    NO hate here,. just brotherly love.....from a distance. 💢 So I got it now, that those wires have been removed / eliminated from the switch making the switch just a head light switch. No fiddling with the "switch" to go for a ride. Turning truck to RUN position fires up the basic honk, stop...

    A2 M1123 - Troubleshooting Stop Lamp Switch

    That's a good idea to modernize the lighting switch and having to remember to flip it on or off to go for a ride. The chance to save the batteries... YEP, but with my luck a TICKET for no STOP and TURN lights. BUT... I am not so sure of your wiring schematic, as I roll it around in my pea...

    A2 M1123 - Troubleshooting Stop Lamp Switch

    Hmmwv. Stop and turn lamps are the same bulb. Single contact with return on the shell. So... only one filament and it's the bright one used for you guessed it, STOP and TURN. So the turn signal switch (and the magic inside and leave it at that) prioritizes how the lamp behaves if a turn is in...

    A2 M1123 - Troubleshooting Stop Lamp Switch

    AUHhhhhh YEA. Pull my finger, CAMO AND the other part of the switch releases the torque converter lock up. It is 12 volts. Screw up with voltage going in the wrong direction and it's AAMCO time.

    A2 M1123 - Troubleshooting Stop Lamp Switch

    Sounds to me you need to have wife work the switch when stopping the truck.rofl That test would make some sense showing closing of the contacts with an ohm meter (is that what you did?) BUT still may not be able to handle the current of a couple of incandescent lamps as in AMPS (is that what...

    A2 M1123 - Troubleshooting Stop Lamp Switch

    Do the turn signals work? both left and right, emergency flashers too? Brake lighting goes thru the turn signal switch, Those funky stop switches can be a problem. Connect the two switch wires together and see if the brake lights come on... steady and not flicken and a flashing. Simple...

    Left Battery cutoff switch on

    "My battery is wired in series with the 2 negatives jumpered together and the positives on the outside." This is what I read? As in series like links in a chain. If as written, that's a problem. Well, really not. Equals ZERO +/- volts in a 24 volt system. It could happen I guess...
