m1009 voltmeter light

[cfish]

I haven't pulled my instrument cluster yet. Doing that this weekend. Lights work on all gauges, but no light on the volt gauge. Does that gauge have a bulb?

Yes

I suggest you download and save all the TMs for the CUCV's.They can answer some of the most basic question, and some of the most complicated questions.

Here's the list(links) that is listed in the CUCV Wiki(in the CUCV forum.

Technical Manuals
LO 9-2320-289-12 is the Lubrication Order
TM 9-2320-289-10 is the Operator's Manual
TM 9-2320-289-20 is the Unit Maintenance Manual
TM 9-2320-289-20P is the Unit Parts Manual
TM 9-2320-289-34 is the Intermediate Maintenance Manual
TM 9-2320-289-34P is the Intermediate Parts Manual
TM 9-2815-237-34 is the Direct Support Manual for the 6.2L and 6.5L Diesels

Wiring Diagrams are located in Appendix F of the -20 and Appendix E of the -34

PLEASE READ the first few pages of the Troubleshooting Section for an explaination of how to read the wiring diagrams

NOTES:
Your first best place to go for information is always to the technical manuals that are available for free download as searchable/printable .pdf files. There is a wealth of information and it is written for the common military man.


First read the Operator’s Manual. This will answer most of the newbie questions that arise on this forum. Then read the Lube Order. This will give you answers to the most common questions about fluids and capacities. Then read the Unit Maintenance Manual. This will give step by step instructions for basic troubleshooting and repairs. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in any of those, then read the Intermediate Maintenance Manual.


The parts manuals will give you schematics followed by a listing of part numbers. You can cross-reference these in the index at the end to find the NSN. Then you can google the NSN and usually find more information.

Is there an echo in here????

I'm feeling generous this morning.....

The bulb is listed in the TM 9-2320-289-20p Parts Manual. Figure #35, item #8

It is listed as a 1445 12v bulb

#1445-#1892 MINIATURE BULBS, #1445-1892 MINIATURE LAMPS, #1445-1892 INDICATOR BULBS, #1445-#1892 BULBS, #1445-#1892 LAMPS, #1445-#1892 MINIATURES

For me, I always start with the parts manuals to find the item, what its name is and the part number. Then I go to the repair manuals to find out how to replace/repair it.

How generous??? Where can I fetch one of these bulbs by saturday????

 

[cfish]

Oh and I went ahead and purchased a CD with the manual on it. I will keep it on board the CUCV so if, god for bid, I'm out on the road and break down and need the asiistance of one of a mechanic, at least we will have access to the manual.

 

[cfish]

Never mind, my reading comprehension skills are shot to he@# today. Just saw the link to the bulbs. Thank you kind sir!!!

 

[Warthog]

I have never needed to buy one but Radio Shack might have them.

 

[cfish]

Roger that!!

Went and found the bulbs. Advance auto has them. Two for 5.99. They are Long Life Bulbs by phillips.

Does anyone remember the days before Internet?

In this case, you would have simply reached up and felt for a bulb, then removed it and driven to the local auto parts store and matched up a replacement.

A step up from that would have been to use the TMs(if you had a hard copy).

Now, we post up, get several ideas/suggestions, then do something that sounds logical and see if the advise was correct.

Just thinking out loud here. Seems like the same results, just a different way of doing it. We have integrated computer usage into everything. Even changing a lightbulb!

..... We have integrated computer usage into everything.

Haven't you heard? The next iPhone will be implanted in your brain......

 

[Gottlos]

I'm waiting for a TM app for my phone. Perhaps a connector that goes from my phone to the diagnostic port.

 

[Barrman]

There is an OBD II app and cable for the iPhone. I guess we need the STE/ICE app next?

Thats funny. Reminds me of when I was a kid and the old Black and White TV would die. Dad would pull the suspected tubes out of it send me to the corner electric shop that had a machine you could plug your tubes in and test them. The owner was friends with my dad and would send me home on my bike with the new tubes in hand. Gotta love technology.


NOT!!
