I posted early spring with this problem and am just getting around to my second attempt to fix this problem. Was running fine and while driving down the road, it just stopped running. All headlights, BO lights and turn signals work, but when you turn the key--nothing, no GP relay click, not wait light, no instrumentation lights (very few of those worked when it was running, so it is hard to tell which ones went out when it stopped running--I know the wait light and Gen lights do not work and they worked before.
I ran through all of the diagnostics in the -20. No problems with the alternators, batteries 24 volts, 24 volts at bar on firewall, replaced the starter just in case and that did not fix the problem. Replaced the starter switch and relay switch--not the problem. -20 checks up to the starter relay check good and manual states "trace wiring".
Spent 4 hours today tracing the wires. Everything looks good. No blown fuses, none of the fusible links look large or melted. Yellow wire from ingition switch gets spliced up with the purple/white coming out from the purple 3 from the glow plug card. I can't get to the splice--the yellow and purple/white go behind the fuse box and I can't get the fuse box off because it is tight on the engine side firewall. I took both screws out and felt behind the fuse box and all the wires seem tight.
I took a continuity light and tested at the purple/white that is spliced to the yellow ignitiion wire and turned the key, but I did not get any light. This is where I'm over my head. It seems to me that when you turn the key that I should get a light at that purple/white where the yellow ignition wire splices to.
Anyway, I am at the point where I am willing to pay Mr. Goodwrench to trace the wires, but I am afraid that they don't know Jack about the M1009 and its wiring.
Any thoughts?
PS: I did all of my wire tracing and continity checks the neg cables disconnected, but did the -20 checks with the batteries connected.
Thanks,
Tracy
