Well, who knows...Between the explosives sign and the pink unicorn are you sure you're not a member of the Suicide Squad?

I am reminded of the UNICORN SONG...Oh man... I've got some serious unicorns hanging around the house. I'm going to have to try out this equestrian modification.

Was your PCB damaged? That will kill a HMMWV that was not battery disconnected prior to electric work.Well, i planned on swapping out my custom Ignition light from a Red to a green one (because it would have just look better) and that's when my issue happened. Last January i installed my own custom keyed kill switch as an alternative to the keyed ignition switches sold on eBay and elsewhere, as those type were not appealing to me for a few reasons, nevertheless, the idea worked perfect never had an issue. The way that it was designed is, if you would turn the key a red light would light up indicating that the humvee is activated (in other words.. completing the electrical circuit) and then you would continue to start the humvee as you would normally. The keyed kill switch was basically killing the voltage to the start switch. Once the key was inserted and turned this would complete the circuit thus allowing the Humvee to be started in the normal fashion and i added a light to the whole project and it was working great, but at the time i installed the custom switch i only had red lights in my shop so i used one. well every light on my dash cluster is green so it bugged me and i wanted to swap out the red light for a green one so i bought one and went to go pull the red light out and when i did i guess one of the metal connectors on the back came off and started arking and some smoke came out from behind the dash and now the whole truck is dead. It's like there isn't any batteries in it, nothing is working NOTHING! i don't even see any melted wires or anything. like a dummy i thought i could just swap the lights, kind of like a plug and play method boy was i wrong, i should have just unhooked the batteries like i normal wound have done. is there any in-line fuses? Any help would be SOOOOOO greatfull!

No great way to check a PCB unless you wanna open and look for burnt up bits. Hard to see sometimes when magic smoke gets released. [The TM's talk about a way to build a diagnostic box, but it seems like a huge undertaking for limited payout].Don't know if the PCB was damaged? I Hope not i have the nicer one too, or so i was told? The hot wire from the light i installed (should have wrap the connectors with tap) touched the metal dash for a second ( or so it seemed?) and something started smoking? And the truck is dead, stone dead! I'm currently testing wires. one more thing this truck has not been running fro a few days and i went and touched the alternator and it seemed rather worm? Not worm like it was just running but clearly warmer than andy other part on the cold engine. I scouring through the TM's as i type this (The TM isn't to user friendly in my opinion), so if you can give me a quick tip as to how going about checking the PCB it would be great.
Chaplain... your post really lifted my heart! I'm still laughing days later.
