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

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...

I had basically the same thing happen to me last year but did not know of the relay problems. I had the relay under the dash replaced with another relay and that problem was solved. After reading your info on the "dogbone" replacement and jotting down the part number I went to NAPA and got the...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

I've got the same voltmeter problem with a different twist to it. Everything was running great under the hold and on the dash all the gauges were working as should be. I replaced the belts on the engine a couple months ago and recently the belt on alternator #1 (right hand side near batteries)...

I hooked up both batteries on trickle charge for a day and a half. Would not take charge. I then removed batteries and took them to the local Excide Battery Warehouse to have them load tested. Both failed.....less than 5% in both batteries. Found out you cannot purchase authentic government...

I have a 1985 M1009 Blazer with 32504 miles on it with the military spec batteries which I figure they are the original because of the low mileage. The problem I'm experiencing is the batteries are fully charged but when the ignition switch is turned on the amp gauge moves up to just below the...
