M1009 stranded, smoke from wire, will not turn over.

Smoking from this wire in the first pic, When looking around I noticed the wire in the 2nd pic was disconnected. Help please! Not sure what to look at. Need to get to chicago.

Resistor has been bypassed, that doesn't affect anything except 24 to 12 volt glow plugs, that's not the issue

What is that wire I am looking at in the first pic? Trying to access the TMs but hard on my phone. It did start after it cooled down Help please

Which wire, there are a LOT of wires in the first picture ????

Looks like loose connection at but connector

The one in the 2nd pic goes to the buss bar originally but looks like your 24volt to 12volt resistor has been bypassed and that the wire originally on the out sode of the resistor now goes to 12 volt buss.

I would cut that crimp connection out solder and shrink tube the wires! Those crimp joints are junk!

 

[ajsmith184]

I just cut the connector and ran a jumper wire and tried..No dice. Jumper wire got really hot to the touch really quick...

 

[ryan77]

Trace that wire that has the crimp connection and see where it goes!

 

[ryan77]

It might go to gen one! U might have a bad generator with a short!

 

[ryan77]

Try this!

 

[ajsmith184]

Thanks! Got it. Was a bad fusible link brought on by whoever did the crappy fix originally. Whew

Yes, they are!


When done with K-Mart connectors using K-Mart tools, by someone who can't pay attention to details.


Done correctly, they are every bit as good as soldered connections, and a whale of a lot better than badly done solder connections.

Crimp connections are mil-spec in a ton of applications where soldering is not permitted. There's a reason for that.

I had never touched this, this work had to have been done by the military or GL.

I was referring to the k Mart type his truck had! Not a millspec or a quality one! lol

Does she run now?

That connector was on the main 12v for the truck. If it goes bad nothing will work.

If something fried the fusable link or any fuse for that matter, you need to identify it and correct it. Whatever condition blew them will continue to do so until rectified. Short across a load or to ground.
