Front running lights M35a2 ??

[steelandcanvas]

I do have a M35 wiring diagram in size 8" X 11 1/2", but is anyone selling a larger version, such as 24" X 36" ?

Copy the file to a disk and take it to a print store...they can blow it up, print it and even laminate for your viewing pleasure.

I went to STAPLES, and they blew it up, but the words and numbers ain't legible, so I will insert them as I can and finally have a good tool for diagnostics...

This is the diagram I use. I have it laminated and keep a copy in the glove box.

Thank You DOGHEAD, and I am installing a program by ACROBAT READER that enables me to convert PDF files to WORD. Once I get it straight, I will post the diagram in WORD format...

I just picked up my deuce Saturday and the brake lights and headlights will not come on I spoke with the previous owner and he mentioned a switch on the left that should be turned to the right but I cant figure out how to turn them on can anyone help maybe with a picture

Find that switch. Lift the bottom right, and while holding that up, turn the top to the right. That's what the previous owner is telling you. That's how you turn on your lights.

And find the TM 9-2320-361-10 Operators Manual. It help explain all the bells and whistles of your truck. It is required reading of the guys in the miltary that drive these trucks.

Post #4 shows the light switch settings.

Also please edit your user profile to list your State of residence. It is a forum requirement.

Anyone have a link for the wiring adapter that does this? Erik's site is a mess.

I found it here, just in case you are still looking in 2022 lol : Light Switch Adapter/Converter Cable, Front Marker Lights Operate With Headlights, M Series Vehicles, X-6065 (eriksmilitarysurplus.com)

Don't overthink this, troops.

The fix is practically free, and uses nothing but a soldering iron and some tape.

1...unscrew the Bendix connector off the back of the light switch.

2...Unwrap the tape back a bit, about 3 or 4 inches.

3... sort out wires #491 and #21.

4...Pull wire 491 away from the others, and cut it close to the connector. Tape up the short end.

5...Strip 1" of insulation from wire 21, back 4" from the connector (but DON"T CUT THIS WIRE). Be careful not to damage the wire strands.

6...Strip 1" of insulation from the long end of wire 491, wrap it around the bared spot on wire 21.

7...Solder the connection, wrap it with tape, and retape the entire loom as original.

8...Reconnect the connector to the light switch, you're done.

Parking lights will come on any time any Service Drive (includes headlights) switch position is turned on.

Parking lights operate as usual. Beats spending a C-note on that gizmo...

For the uneducated, the light switch is designed to inhibit visible lighting from coming on without a conscious effort in order not to give your position away at night. The only unlocked function is the blackout markers.

Thank you for reposting that! Exactly what i was looking for.

Since the basic light switch wiring is fairly universal this mod should work on most M series vehicles like the M151 and M37s too. Great write up!
