    This is not the one that matters to the gauges. The three wires mount directly to the cab. Trace the brown wire from the instrument cluster back until you find where it attaches.

    Sorry all for my prolonged absence on the topic. I second getting a power probe 2. It really takes a lot of mystery out of diagnosing this stuff, because you have the ability to bring power right to the gauge or whatever and verify functionality or lack of it with out even pulling it out of the...

    Hi Fuzzy. I finally got back to working on the SEE yesterday and have had partial success finally on getting the dash lights and gauges working. First let me say that my nephew turned me on to a tool called "Power Probe II" with it I was able to verify bulbs, and track down issues pretty...

    Wow $40 for working 24 volt alternator seems like a steal. I paid 100 for one off E-Bay that was supposed to be new, but even though it was shrink wrapped in plastic was clearly not new (even though it was in really good shape). Since the alternator bench tested OK you are probably not far from...

    From my limited experience, you should pull the alternator and check it out. Like I said before TM 5-2420-224-34 gives instructions on how to test it with a multi meter. After you get that sorted out you can probably remove the hot wire to the starter button, which depending on how it was done...

    The reason I thought it might have been over charging is the needle on the gauge was just under the line between 28 and 32 which would be 30 volts. I checked the voltage between the positive terminal on the starter and the negative ground with an accurate digital voltmeter and got 27.4 volts.So...

    Hi FLU farm Can you verify what the proper behavior of the alternator gauge is? After I turn on the master disconnect, and turn the key switch to on the alternator gauge shows ~ 25 volts. When I start it and bring the rpms up to 8K it goes up above 28 volts which seems a bit high. While running...

    Hi Fuzzy, Have you had in luck in tracking down the problem? I have gotten busy with other stuff, but I believe that I have a similar problem because may of my panel lights, and the gauges don't function. There are some (?? unexpected at least for me ??) relationships in how the components are...

    It is a 6T, they are not cheap. I think it is the same as in HMMV and other military vehicles. There are a lot of posts in Steel Soldiers on options. O'Rielly's and NAPA have lead acid batteries look in their commercial battery section.

    I think you got your wires crossed, unless 73m819 is also a Ron. One crazy woman is enough in my life. I will stick with the one I started with. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

    Hi Jon, Welcome to the group. I am a relatively new member, and I am in much the same boat as you. I bought mine at auction in May with the intent of having it ready to go next spring. I had a lot of issues getting mine delivered, and since it is not critical to my life until next spring, it...
