So, I buy this 1985 HMMWV (sn in the 500's, so this one is super antique) & the batteries go dead in the parking lot of the title company. The prev owner gives it a boost to get me rolling. Upon getting home, I immediately install 2x new deep cycle 1000CCA batteries. For a couple months, no issues, starts very strong and runs perfect, except 2-times I jump in & try to start, and I get nothing, not even a click. Just the wait light comes on, goes out, then turn the lever...and silence. I figured I had a neutral switch going bad. After some jiggling and shifting of the levers, it started up again.
Now, 3-weeks into a long list of repairs (transfercase cooling loop, driveshaft rebuild, fuel tank parts rebuild, etc..) I go to bleed the new fuel lines up thru the filter housing. With the controller wire unplugged (per the TM) A few cranks of the starter, and fuel comes out the bleeder...cool.
A day later, I get the exhaust back on & try to start it up for real. Turn to run position (not cranking position) and the starter takes off ! Yikes, I quickly turn back to off, try again, same deal. I start checking wiring, etc. No issue found. Try a 3rd time, wait light comes on, goes back off, bit relieved it didn't ghost start again...but still wondering WTF. Try to start it & get a bunch of loud clicks like the batteries are dead. (they are fully charged up) Try a 4th time... nothing, just silence now. Expecting that the relay in the PCB is cooked.
Any good leads on PCBs ?
Is the best one to get the KDS 6110-01-491-2142 (green label) ?
(mine is a 6110-01-292-6532 PN 12339517 - Nartron Corp)
Many thanks.
