    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    I know the feeling, A friend of mine and I troubleshot a problem that we " didn't have " today with a antenna rotor. 3 hours later, we fixed a problem that wasn't there when we started. As we all know, If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    CUCV Start Up Here is a video of my M1009, the temp was around 50 deg F. The voltmeter on the left is measuring the voltage to the glow plugs. The one on the right is the standard 24 v meter. During the warm up time, the GP voltage is 8 volts. After start up it goes up to around 10 volts. Once...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    The card will only cycle the GP relay if the Voltage monitor circuit of the GP card detects a higher than desired voltage. At one time I did measure it, but that was years ago and I do not remember what it was. I think.....again think, some where above 14 volts. It sounds like your original...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    Your GP system is working normally. The high current draw after the engine is running is normal. The voltage sag is normal. The glow plugs being on after start up is normal. The WIF light momentary flash issue is not normal, but we addressed that and a possible solution via PM. After start up...

    From what I found that is a replacement for the sensor.

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    Looks like 1 ohm, try changing the scale to 200 or 20K and see what it reads. Are you sure you do not have the leads touching each other at the pins? What is the P/N of that sensor? It should be one of these: GM part# 10045847 Old style Napa - TS4032 Orielly - WT5133 New style Napa - TS4015...

    It would be best to do it without the engine running.

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    It looks like the wait light came on at 0:16 and off at 0:19, the card kept the GP's on until 0:40. This is normal operation for a GP card depending on the temperature of the engine. This is the after glow period. To check the temp sensor, Unplug it. Set your meter scale to resistance x 1...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    I'm not sure why the water/fuel light is flashing. I think you may have a ground connection that needs some attention. The CUCV is well know for poor grounds and poor electrical connections over time. But the low voltage and dim lights until the GP relays opens is normal. They are drawing...

    The temp sensor for the glow plug card is a thermistor. It changes resistance with temperature change. This resistance value is used to calculate the time that the glow plug relay is closed. The high idle sensor is a switch. It is either open or closed.

    Your second video shows normal GP operation. What you discovered is more commonly known as after glow. The GP's stay on after starting the engine for a little while until the GP card turns them off.
