Which fuse is tied to which alternator / Generator?
I have had head lights flashing, wipers automatically activating the wiper fluid sprayer, and Gen 1 light not coming on, volt meter in yellow, etc.
Flashing Headlights
My head lights are doing something similar. After the truck has been running for 20 or so minutes the lights will begin flashing.
No sequence, just random flashing. I have pulled, checked, brushed, and applied diaelectric grease to every ground terminal I can find...
head light issue
lights going out, 30 amp fuses burning out.
pulled lights, found a short, taped it up, cleaned all terminals and battery terminals with brass brush and diaelectric grease - also did the same for all of the in dash bulbs, ground wires under the hood, rear brake and reverse...
Same Issues
I have been going through almost the exact same thing.
Come home one night park the CUCV.
Wake up the next day, dead, won't turn over.
Sits two days while I try to jump, when I hook up jumper cables, Gen 1 light comes on and Gen 2 Light comes on, when I take them off, only Gen 1...
Has anyone moved their antenna bracket from mid body to the rear and if so, How do you mount it?
My first idea is to drill all the way through the body into the interior and use big washers.
Anyone have any tips or advice on hooking up some aux lighting on the front. I am thinking about a set of aux driving lights, and a set of off road lights.
Need info on how to mount, how to wire up, and how to switch
TM for these parts and this fix
Can anyone provide the TM page for this fix? I have found the regulator valve, but I don't know where to look for the modulator. I got underneath my CUCV last night but could not find what I was looking for.
What size hose is needed to replace the hoses, as I...
Looking for plug or grommet that goes in the hole on the rear top of a M1009 CUCV. I would also be interested in descriptions and pictures of any "fixes" for this that any members might have. I am getting a bad leak through that whole. Me I don't care, but my little girl, not too happy when...
Ran a search and could not find anyone having this issue
Had the bright idea to buy and install a 48 led overhead (dome ) light in the M1009. I thought I could get away cheap and simple by using a wire splice connector on one of the wires going to the one existing courtesy light up under the...
I purchased a small square (auto dome light led ) replacement to mount on the roof of my M1009 as an overhead dome light. I used a wire tap/splice at the existing courtesy light so that they would both activate when I turn my headlight knob.
Now I am poor at wiring, but I really got it...
Yeah, they did not, but then again, they probably don't get alot of these either. What is important is that I now understand the Isolated ground. Another week of cussing and posting but I now know how to fix one more thing on my CUCV. Reinstalled the alternator on my lunch break and drove big...
Pulled the alt apart. Negative Terminal has fiber washer on the outside keeping off of frame, does not have fiber washer inside to keep from touching frame. I think this might be where the rebuild went south
Put the volt meter on tonight and here is what I have
No voltage on the orange (diagnostic terminal)
12 volts on the Red - White terminal
24 volts on the Red Terminal (Cable)
When it is all hooked up it arcs and tries to weld itself to the negative (black) battery terminal on the front...
You are right ,they are clear, very clear. I had my alternator completely rebuilt, and took it back and had it completely checked over again, and asked if he understood that it had an isolated ground, he did.
Still sparking hard
