Since Ive had my m1009, it has had a mystery wire going from the glow plug relay to the passenger back plug.
Never thought much about it, one day decided to find the original wire, and put it back in use...
Pulled the harness off the passenger side..and the green glow plug wires for the entire passenger side, were melted, ..pulled the engine harness out, put in new glow plug wires. Ran each wire to a little fuse box from amazon with 8 fuses, made a little mounting plate and attached it to the original resistor housing (12v system now), so now this little fuse box, has 8 fuses, sitting up and behind the air cleaner. Any shorts or bad things that happen, just replace a fuse. This fuse box also has a LED for each circuit, if a fuse blows, then you know exactly which one. Makes life much easier. Ive never liked fusable links..they are a royal PITA when they blow.
Neighbor hooked his old chevy pickup battery backwards, spent most of a day bypassing fusible links..every single one I found was fried. Never could get power to every thing again..eventually gave up
Fusible links are evil.
Works amazingly well, just thought I would share the idea.
Ill add some photo's later on.
