Rotating Beacon

[cavetech]

On my M1078 I have a rotating beacon switch in the top left corner of the dashboard, but no rotating beacon. On the outside back of my cab is a small cannon plug type connector with just a two wire/two hole.

I looked up the cannon plug and it is for a rotating beacon.

Using my incredible deductive reasoning, is the dashboard rotating beacon switch already wired to the cannon plug on the back of my cab just waiting for a rotating beacon?

The plug just has two connections so it must be a simple hot wire and ground wire setup?

What voltage is the plug?

Thanks, Steve

I'd try using a DMM and see.

Wouldn't that be in the operator's TM?

Thank you.

What's a DMM?

You can see mine on page 66 although it is a strobe not rotating beacon - http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?152882-Working-on-the-M1078-LMTV/page66

I got it from clintogf in the classifieds. It's 12/24v so I didn't bother checking to see what the voltage is at the plug. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...ight-Kit-NSN-6220-01-449-1239-w-connector-100

Headlights have to be on. Sometimes the relay is missing in the panel. It uses a 12v rotating light.
