    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    I went to CARQUEST as you suggested and bought the 12 gage fusible link. Same length and price. They were out of the 12 gage heat shrink connectors so I will go back tomorrow when they get their delivery. Funny that they have all the other gage wiring ready made up but can only get 12 gage in...

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    NAPA site does not list 12 gage fusible wiring nor does the store has it. I found it CARQUEST. Thank you for the info anyway. I do appreciate all the info I get here on SteelSoldiers. Harry

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    Tank you for the reply. I'll go there tomorrow. Hopefully the will have completed sets. I'm not that electrically inclined enough to make up proper connections and don't want to screw it up. Hopefully they will have parallel connectors too. AutoZone doesn't have anything I need. NAPA guys...

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    Is there a NAPA part number for the Fusible link wiring that is already made up? I know the fusible wiring is 12 gage (4 gages higher than the wiring off the alternator which is 8 gage. Thank you for the info.

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    I went to AutoZone today and they do not have fusible link wiring (at least here in Niagara Falls they don't). I went over to NAPA and the two most knowledgeable guys that work there were off today and the other three counter guys had no clue what I was talking about even though I showed them a...

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    Thank you for the information, much appreciated. I will be going to NAPA or AutoZone as soon as possible to get the parts. The + alternator stud already has a rubber cover on it, so it's possible that when the alternator slipped loose that just enough stud was exposed when it bumped the...

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    The blue wire from gen1 was not affected. Just the gen2 wiring was affected. There is a short blue wire above the firewall bracket and the blue wire from gen2 whereas gen1 is connected together that was affected. My cucv electrical knowledge is limited but learning more every time something...

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    Well I really screwed things up today. I had started my cucv today so I could move it to the center of my garage. The belt on the alternator (gen 2) started squealing like crazy and wouldn't stop. After moving the beast into the middle of the garage and shutting off the engine, I raised the...

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    Thank you for the advise. I was not looking forward to taking dash apart. I want to be sure that I check and replace the correct relay. Which is the Voltmeter relay? Once the engine starts both gen lights go out so I don't think the #2 gen relay needs replaced, only the voltmeter relay...

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    I need to move my CUCV to the middle of the garage so I can open the drivers door and get the seat pushed back so I will have room to pull dash pane; off and look for the voltmeter relay. I hope that solves the problem of non-working voltage meter by replacing the relay. Thank you for your info.

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    Yes, I did try tapping on voltmeter but nothing happened. Where behind the radio cover plate is the relay switch? Can I see it and is it easy to get to? I really don't want to pull the front of the dash off to get to it unless there is no other way. I checked the 10 amp fuse and it is still...

    CUCV m1008 volt meter problems

    I'm having same problem with voltage meter on dash (not working at all). Where is the voltmeter relay next to Gen 2? What does it look like? I recently replaced gen 2 with new one and did not see a relay on or near the old one. Engine starts and runs great and charging system works great...
