My M929A1 Dump Truck won’t start. I bought the truck from Memphis Equipment and they did a 12v conversion on the truck, which in hindsight might have been a mistake.
I got out my volt meter and checked the battery first. The battery is at 12.5v which might be a little low but the truck has been sitting awhile. I did try to jump the truck and no luck there starting.
Next, I moved on to the solenoid for the starter. If I am not mistaken, I think there should be 12v at all three terminals when the ignition key is turned. Is that correct? I had 12v at one terminal but there was 0.0v at the other terminals whether the key was turned or not. Please let me know if you think the solenoid is bad and should be replaced.
Thanks,
Tom
