NSN for the engine harness? Never mind - I think I found one.

Does it need a different harness, or do you just leave the "extra" harness disconnected?

Speaking of PCBs... Have any of you ever seen and/or had experience with the brand? It has 3 cannon connectors - two in the engine bay and one under the dash. I think it was another effort to eliminate the GPC. The box is paired up with a Nartron GPC, but that shouldn't matter if the...

Chapter 1 - Green HMMWV (continued) This is the one that fried at least one PCB that we believe was caused by a faulty starter. Just received today, the kit to help us remove the broken starter bolt. Any way, I was installing a new windshield washer reservoir/pump. It came without one. I...

Chapter 2 - Tan HMMWV Different HMMWV, similar issue. Previously changed all the glow plugs - broke one tip off and had to remove the head to retrieve it, but that's another story. Been having some starting issues, but hadn't tried to start this thing for about a week or so. Decided to check...

Thanks for the clarification about the power connections. I will try to work studying the schematics into my schedule.

I looked at all those connections when I removed the starter, but I will recheck and probably put some pooky on the terminals after cleaning and tightening.

Photos of my "smart box" and diagnostic connectors. No evidence of corrosion. Also did a visual check on the GPC connectors - no corrosion. Will check connectors at battery box to ensure no corrosion and they are tight. Will check that 24v is only on the center post of engine bay...

Thanks for the tip. Most of the time our guys forget to turn off everything after they shut down the unit, causing them to have to go back and turn things off. I'm the only one who has been working with/on this unit. The lights and accessories on this unit have only been turned on for testing...

Let me try to recap. Green sticker KDS was box #1 (yellow band GPC) - it was working fine for about two weeks after I did quite a bit of work (mostly on the fuel system) to get it running. Don't know why it fried, but the starter was acted funny when it did. (As I indicated in a previous post...

correct

Haven't made much progress on finding the source of our problem. I'm tracing wires to make sure there aren't any shorts. I've learn some things. Still think the problem was the starter. Have a new starter ready to go back on, but have to deal with a broken mounting bolt first. With regards...

Ok, here's more. You guys asked for some photos, so here they are. First two are of the original green sticker unit. TOBASH wanted to see the complete burned out unit. The next four are of the second unit I installed, and the associated GPC that was also installed at the time that both the...

Nope

Noted - thanks.

Any way to test them? I remember seeing one inside the box that got fried.

That is what is currently installed. How frequently do those go bad? Also, do you know what GPC matches a Prestolite smart box?

No clunk. What's the relay look like? I remember hearing the clunk on this unit untill the unit died.

Battery clamps are tight. Green label box is the one that got toasted. It probably thought, "hey, I just got fried." Does the yellow label KDS need the GPC or TSU?

Got an MEP-804A on which the electric priming pump doesn't work. The pre-heat function appears to work, as do the gauges, and the engine cranks. The unit that had this gen set drained all the fuel, so the lines probably need to be purged of air. I've put 5 gallons in it. I could troubleshoot...
