    M931a2...new battery switch in dash, still no movement on gauges

    I had similar problem with no power, at first I could switch the power switch on and off bunch of times and it would come on, then one day it was dead no matter how many times I tried. In the beginning I could hear clicking coming from the Power Control Box on drivers side firewall. Opened...

    Starting issues on a m923a1, looking for additional thoughts/suggestions

    Doubt same problem but my no start problem was solved by replacing a ground wire coming off the lower solenoid inside the power control box. I replace the lower solenoid at same time since it was only $25

    Installed a 2nd Air Horn for blast fitting of a 5-Ton (Wolo Model 850 Siberian Express) youtube video doesn't do it justice but here it is if interested. Picked this horn because online reviews stated "wanted a loud air horn but this one is too loud" perfect I thought. Horn Video

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Added a 24v Solargizer, I already had a plug in charger (Battery Tender 022-0158-1 Waterproof 24 Volt) Currently I have the plug in on a dusk to dawn timer so they are not both charging at same time. Is ok to just leave it plugged in when a plug is available and have them both charging at the...

    Is this a starter solenoid? Clicks but no power to starter.

    Ordered the replacement 24v Solenoid when was taking off the old one noticed the broken ground wire shown in picture, could have tried to just replace the bad wire but already had PCB off the truck and new solenoid in hand. Had to grind off the solenoid mounts from the back side of the box and...

    Is this a starter solenoid? Clicks but no power to starter.

    I found online someone with similar problem replaced the lower solenoid with a golf cart solenoid so i ordered a 67020 SPST 24V 100A Insulated Continuous Solenoid for $25 I will replace it first, then the switch and finally just replace the entire box if the first 2 don't work. Thank you all for...

    Is this a starter solenoid? Clicks but no power to starter.

    Intermittently my M923a2 will not start, flip the power switch and it just clicks near the firewall, no power to start truck. I have got away with toggling on/off over and over and eventually the power comes to life but that does not seem to work anymore. When I flip on the power this bottom...

    923A2 Horn stick on after pressing button wont stop until turn shut down truck

    Thanks 74M35A2 that was exactly my problem. I followed the ground wire and the rubber surrounding the diode fell apart in my hand. Easy cheap fix, 1N5404 3A 400V Rectifier Diode from ebay and the horn works perfect. Thanks again!
