Dead LMTV

[Hwhomes]

Looking for help. My LMTV is dead. No lights, no dash lights, flipping the switch to start and nothing happens. This symptom comes and goes. My batteries are fully charged. Waiting some period of time seems to resolve the issue. Ideas?

Are the battery terminals clean?
take the terminals off, clean them, check each battery for voltage, 11.5V means a battery is toast, replace. start again.

reinserting information but don't know how accurate it is.

CB70 "circuit breaker 70" (according to one chart in TM's) would cover all your issues.

Butt.. see http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?158246-Two-different-Circuit-Breaker-number-schemes that discusses that this is one CB that has a different description elsewhere that says it is for Trailer Stop Backup lights. ??

If you have power at the batteries and the terminals are all good, cables are on properly and all is right in the battery box go to the breaker panel see if you have 12 & 24 volts at the posts left side of the panel. If no go to the power protective box under the spare tire and measure voltage there. If yes the headlights should turn on as long as the breaker isn't tripped but I believe that one is self resetting.

Not funny, its ignorant, and that is the reason you can't delete posts.

Thank you to all. It appears the green switch that you flip to engage the starter is bad. By "wiggling" it I can get the dash to energize if that's right terminology. Then the motor turns over. However that doesn't seem to address the issue of lack of power such as at the headlights. They should work with the green switch off.

Can someone tell me. Is the switch 12 or 24 volts? The green one right above the starter button.

What kind of light switch do you have? The 3 lever model?
download the TM's and go through the troubleshooting section for that switch.

I think it's a 12 volt circuit that switches 24 at the relay. You can swap it for a less used switch like the rotary warning one. The little green legend will pop out and go into the replacement switch. Check the lower left lever on the light switch make sure it's all the way up.
