It was reading a needles width below 24v mark. After start, is moved to about a needles width above the 24v mark.
Next trip out, Im gonna start going through the troubleshooting chart.
Our battery collection is sketchy, but functional
Success!
Had to pull all the Circuit breakers and relays and function test them all to make sure I didn't have to chase stupid gremlins.
I finally got a 30V power supply to test the 24V relays.
Got the 24v segregated from the 12v
Got the four pins segregated from the five pins.
Verified...
Success...
It was 95 degrees with some rain today so a perfect time to give this thing a go.
Trimmed off the corroded wire and threw on a crimp connector.
Fired right up.
My guess(hope) is still that this may be the problem that got this steel soldier booted from the army.
Half assed wire nut...
Next time I can get out to the truck,
(106* in the shade)
Im gonna De spooge the AUX solenoid terminals and check for power and function.
Reconnect the 93/93A wires and make the connection solid.
Then try to crank it up...
Thanks for the confirmation.
This may be a clue as to why this thing was originally sidelined at FMS
The patina on the wires make me think its been like this for a while.
Maybe it was wire nutted...poorly...definitely wasn't twisted together
Making progress on my M1078(A0) Frankenharness.
Got power flowing. Warning buzzer fully functional....
Master power gets fuel solenoid to clunk. Trans control powers up with N-N showing. Pressing start switch clicks the relay but no crank.
a couple months ago I Jumped the starter and it cranked...
This truck came with a picked clean panel.
No evidence of leaks.
All the breakers and relays came from a tub of spares bought for the project.
The second breaker I opened was rusty and burnt looking. I used a wire brush and scotchbrite to see what would clean off. It seems like one of the...
Going through my PDP panel project
and I cracked open one of the GI circuit breakers. Looks like they have seen better days.
I think I'm gonna replace them with common BUSS type fuses.
I was checking the -24P parts manual to see what amperage and how many of each and noticed item #77...
All I have is the PDF downloads of all the TMs I found here on SS. The system is designed to be somewhat "soldier-proof" and once you have the correct panel, you should be able to match plugs by their banded number...like J33X plugs into P33X. If you can find the PDFs for the M1078A1, that...
If you look closer at the ends of all the wires, you will see small black lettering that gives you the place it originates from and where it goes. And the connectors have metal bands with a unique code stamped in. They all correspond with the wiring diagram. It took me a week or so to figure out...
Make sure you know exactly which panel you need. There are a few different ones over the years. Im working on an M1078A0. Its PDP is different from the A1 and they are different from the one I think you need. The guy that owns the truck I'm working on had a tub full of ebay purchased spares that...
Yeah, I'm fully expecting something catastrophic. Not my first rodeo trying to raise the dead. I'm about 8 for 10. 10 for 15 if you include the motorcycles.
I was encouraged by the fact that it was complete and intact. Nothing else was disassembled or missing. There is a new drivers door and...
Today's progress report...
Got everything plugged back in. Put some power to it. No POOFs. No sparks. Master switch made a relay click. Trans controller fired up and gave me a N N.
Tried to crank...nothing.
I realized that there are at least two circuit breakers and two relays on my bench...
Mine came with one mount and I added a second.
I found the bases and, what one guy called "high survivability" whips at various sources. They were about half the going price of the cooler fiberglass units.
I think these are the ones that convert best to CB use, but I haven't tried.
They...
When I contacted them back in February, this was their response.
"Good Morning Mark,
Yes, we do sell the slats for the Humvee. The price is as follows:
81 13/16” seat boards are $29.56 each
27 3/16” back boards are $14.78 each
These would be cut to length, drilled and painted either Tan...
