Yeah, batteries were hooked up correctly. The ignition never locked, that part seems to function fine, I think this whole mess started with the starter relay starting to go out (we have since replaced the relay with the heavier mod as suggested in other posts), but since then with taking it to...

I'll take the shot, I might as well have been blind folded when I started this project. But the view is getting clearer, this last round of trouble shooting (3rd go, 1st really by my onesies) I started mainly looking for the possible frayed or fried wire(s), and now that I have seen the wires...

Iy do not have a voltmeter (yet) ok, so I might also have glo plug issues-I thought the wait light bulb was burned out but after checking the bulb again today It looks like it might be ok. I need to still get the batteries checked out and go get the VOM. When I had the first switch malfunction...

I checked all the fuses (not just the 20 amp shown, but every one) and they were all good. I did find a box PED 4 that looked like a light purple wire had been soldered to the connection and a blue wire next to it has either burned or was burned attempting to solder it and was not connected...

Ok, so I printed the -20 starting circuits diagram and began tracing the wires from the batteries. I will include pics of what I've found. I'm lost as far as what looks like a bunch of different fuse blocks on the diagrams so took a break, but from the diagram to the actual there are...

Thanks, that will be my directions over the weekend. I don't know of any mods except the toggle from the start of this mess, but will look. I'll also start looking for a braket, I'm glad I finally calmed down my ADD and read these posts more in depth, thanks again for the help and I appologize...

I've been doing more research through threads about this starter issue. I've now seen multiple metions of starter brakets, I know mine didn't have one when I first started into this 3 months ago. Could this be part of the problem and causing other electrical malfuctions such as shorts, if...

OK-Thanks Warthog and transman-I'm starting to wish we had a mech here with military background, but I'm now stuck trying to go it alone (and I have no background, might have gotten in over my head) The orig starter was a 28 mt 24v, have since had it rebuilt so no change they just replaced what...

Thanks to all the responses-I'm sorry I didn't read more or the posts prior to taking it in to the mechanic-Long story short- mech put in a toggle, toggle fried(white smoke electric fire included), found fried starter relay afterwards, which lead to fried starter-replaced starter with rebuilt...

sorry-Yesterday I went to start my m1009 (civ mech. bypassed the starter and put on a toggle). White smoke came from the dash and crackling sounds proceeded. I removed the dash and found the toggle switch had burn marks, and so did the volt/bat gauge and the wire connections (wires fried from...

OK, I'll tell the mech to check those-he did the bypass before asking, said the wiring system was new to him. When trouble shooting before this he had power to everything, but the starter wouldn't do anything, does this sound like the starter relay or something with the ignition?

New to the CUCV-purchased '84 M1009-ran great for 2 months, one I turned it off and the starter wouldn't engage. Checked te batteries, had the starter checked, then took it to the shop. Shop guy said it was something with the neutral safety switch?-he has since then 'bypassed' the safety...
