After farting around for weeks with trying to get that silly non-adjustable linkage switch to work I finally gave up and installed a sealed, normally closed switch in its place. Now whenever the brake pedal comes off of the stops the lights come on. Another option would be to install a tried...
I've changed many tires on my HMMWV and most of the time you can jostle them around and get them to seat but sometimes with new tires that have never been expanded onto wheels you'll need either an expanding band (like a rachetting strap) or a Cheetah which is an air tank that blows out...
Foxtrot, the image you posted is the standard Solargizer made by Pulsetech that the military commonly used on their trucks to keep the batteries from sulfating and discharging from sitting for long periods. It's attached to a small pulse generator box that puts a short high voltage spike down...
If you have the 60 amp Leece-Neville or Prestolite alternators you have a fairly common problem. It can be caused by a couple of things most commonly worj brushes, a blown resistor, or a bad regulator. The first thing you want to do is disconnect the battery negative terminal for safety. Then...
If your truck isn't already wired for backup lights I picked up my 24v hot lead from the shifter legend lights. That way I could turn the dash lights down or off if I didn't want the backup lights coming on for some searon and it means only having to run 1 wire to the lights on the back of the...
Please excuse me but why would anyone want their HMMWV to look more like a Hummer? These are 2 different entities and most people that want a HMMWV don't want a Hummer and vice versa. But to answer your question the Hummer windshield doesn't fold down like the HMMWV so they probably just...
Are you talking about the clearance light bar that mounts in the center of the windshield on an H1? If you are that's installed at the factory. The military HMMWV never had one.
You can invest in a HMMWV backup light switch for around $80 or you can go to your local Napa store and get one for about $15. You'll have to add the wires but for a switch that'll probably never be seen again is that an issue? I mounted one on my HMMWV 20 years ago and the only thing I needed...
Austin is a great guy but you need to understand his sources and why he can sell his parts at his prices. They aren't guaranteed because he can't test every part he receives so what you may have gotten is a part that was cycled out of an Army maintenance facility. Since the TCM is critical to...
This is the piece you need: #1 PFOZZ 2540014220253 82484 GS-2176 LEVER, MANUAL CONTROL.................
There should be a splined collar on the end of it that the wiper arm mounts onto.
In the TM 9 2320-387-24-1 section 2 pages 2-375 thru 2-383 are the flow charts to help troubleshoot electrical problems with the lights. It covers all the common problems with turn signals, brakes, and the master light switch. It's a good thing to get to know for times like this when your HMMWV...

When replacing them or tightening them removing the right side splash shield makes it much easier. A long extension allows you to work...
The cold advance switch on the back end of the right cylinder head by the #8 injector can cause excessive smoke if it's bad. Below about 90 degrees it's normally closed and tells the injector pump to squirt extra fuel into the engine. This can cause excessive smoke for a few minutes until the...
BUY AMERICAN, not Chinesium! Look at either Grote or Cole-Hersee switches. Don't worry if the spec sheet says 14v, your not passing much current thru them.
