Wires cut along the floor are usually radio wires. Any 12v light will work. The plugs are available online.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Sveng Do you have a page number for that diagram. I have a dead plug. Power at the CB 38 (12v)J62 is the junction number listed in the wiring diagrams. The part you are looking for is an ITT/Cannon CA310610SL-4P-B-02. I ordered one yesterday through Vertical.com. This number is for a straight plug. They also stock a 90° plug. You can download a ITT/Cannon catalog for this style connector. Hope this helps
Thanks for that tip!! With head lights on there is power at the plug yippiProbably the smaller wire then if its out of the connector. There is a relay in the panel and a switch on the dash. Headlights have to be on. Check the wire with a meter.
oops, Turn the heads lights on dummy. Works good! fire the mecanicSveng Do you have a page number for that diagram. I have a dead plug. Power at the CB 38 (12v)
Strange. I ordered a RAWLS off of eBay and the connector matched up.Try PEI-Genesis. They have the Cannon plugs and receptacles. For help figuring out what part you want to go with (straight or right angle connector on the power lead from the light) see the attached PDF file that I got from them.
I also managed to find a new FMTV rotating beacon with the Cannon connector on the lead, from Amazon (that's a win). It even has a magnetic base! Search on:

One issue is the beacon power cable is fitted with a newer version of the mil-spec connector, that is quite similar (but does not mate up) to the receptable mounted on the cab. I ordered a spare straight connector from PEI-Genesis as my first idea was to replace the one on the power lead rather than the truck. However I ended up with the very same connector! It might be that the old-style connector is not available anymore.
Plan B - I'm going to pull off the back panel in the cab and change out the old receptacle a new one that matches the new connector. The beacon came with a straight connector, so I'm re-ordering that but in a right angle configuration.
The PEI-Genesis part number for the straight connector is:
CAN CA3106E10SL-4PB02
They are about $40 for the connector and maybe half that for the receptacle. I'll post some pics once I get all the stuff I ordered along with the part numbers, once I get everything here.
