Hey, Thought I would name names to give credit where credit is due. Barrman RickF- stuck with me all the way K9Vic Warthog WalleW Crash AF- you nailed it your first post DavidkRoberts Thanks again, and merry christmas to you guys and your families.

bump with update in original post.

I think it may just be the seat belt alarm. It made a buzzing sound the other day for the first time after i grounded it. Had the alternators tested. Well, not bench tested but they put a 24 volt test light on the batts. with the truck on, and they said it was reading 27 volts. Then they put...

I will tmrrw. For now, it's coming from the top of the fuse box, don't know where from exactly. It's a skinny wire, like the smallest ive seen on the truck. Its black with a white stripe.

Okay, "dog head relay conversion" still going strong. Fixed the lights, I missed putting a fuse in when i changed all the fuses, thats all it was. lol After having the starter rebuilt, it starts and runs. Whether the original issue was the starter, or the alternators i dont know yet. Having...

Ok been digging thru the manuals but cant find a diagram for the lights. Anyone have one they can post? I've already changed all the fuses. P.S. I just went thru my 3rd starter relay in a row. They are lasting about 3 starts on average. I thought the borg warner was gonna be better and that the...

I know, lol, i checked that first. i'm feeble, but not that feeble, lol. I've got company so i cant even get back into it till tmrrw. Hope all you guys had a good thanksgiving. I'll be back im sure begging for more help.

Partial victory! Put new starter in yesterday, and it starts! But... Now the lights/turn signals don't work, lol. Im just so happy that the truck starts again it doesn't even bother me. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Yes he's an older guy who seems to know his stuff. He actually worked on another CUCV for a guy locally, did his alternators. Hopefully, after the starter is done it will start, then i'll take it to him to check the alternators/charging system. Thats his main area of expertise, so with any...

Took it in to my guy, rebuilding the whole thing with a warranty for 165. That sound about right?

So Rick, Before i go pull the starter and have it rebuilt, what do you think that is? It's definitly turning, i took cover off and watched it while my buddy turned the key.

Yes the one under the Dash.

Ok batts. topped off. Starter turns but bendex does not kick out. So it must be the starter. Removing tonight, taking to starter guy in morning. At least my electrical problems are over. Oh ya, borg warner starter relay part # is R3066 on box. It looks exactly the same as the AC40 from auto...

Progress! Well today I got the cover off the bell housing. Had my buddy turn key while i layed under truck with safety glasses and a headlamp on. Apparently either the starter relay or the ignition switch was bad because after changing them the starter activates but is no longer running...

Well I got the new ignition switch in. Man was that fun! Not! Also put in a new starter relay, (3rd one) since it wants to run the starter continully after turning the key. Before I did all this i cleaned all the plugs, contacts ect. on all sides of the fuse box/gang box. Tomorrow I will remove...

Thanks, your the man. I will now go forth and install new ignition switch.

Part # for ignition switch? Anyone know the correct part # for the ignition switch? I got a "master pro" brand # 2-IS99 from O'Reillys but am not sure if it will handle 24 volts. The people at parts store just look at me perplexed when i tell them its a 24V system. They know even less at...

Guys thanks, i just needed to whine a little and take a brake for a day. Your words actually encouraged me today and I will be back at it tomorrow. Your right, looking at the diagram, theres not that much to it. I am going after every wire in the starting system this weekend. I was looking at...

Well im about as frustrated as i can be. I went out to pull the starter and thought i would test the starter relay with the meter again first. Figured I'd better since i did not test it the way as described in the post above. Where there was power now there is none. The red wire has no volts at...

This one has the solenoid and starter as one piece. The posts for it are on the solenoid, not the starter. Also there are 2 posts and some people have told me there are supposed to be 3. I looked at flywheel when i had the starter off before. The teeth that i could see looked okay. It only made...
