After too long with the siren controller attached to the side, and the lighting control panel on the back of my Chevy center console, and now that the Orion radio is installed, I needed to get the cop center console installed. That would also get the wiring cleaned up as well (and there's a lot...

What's grounding the lights? I see a single wire going in for the power, but I don't see any ground.

I had a Ranger pickup that did this off and on. Some days it would start just fine, others, it acted like the battery was dead. Take it in for a test and it's fine again. Turns out the battery had a loose plate that would short out the battery internally- sharp turn or bump in the road would...

I'm far from an expert on these trucks, but I would try either pushing fuel from the tank or pulling with a vacuum pump. I don't think the short throw of the mechanical fuel pump can pull fuel through completely drained lines.

Yeah, I don't think he's going to like that.

LOL, oh right! That filter is thrown to the back of the garage somewhere.

Here's some pictures of mine: That glow plug fusible link is no longer running through there.

What instructions?

Fiddled around a little with my M1009. Does anyone know what this is for? Should it be hanging loose like it is? I looked through the manuals but I don't see mention of it. Four pin plug back by the bell housing and trans dipstick:

This thread will be difficult to find in the future as well. Seriously hope it isn't taken the wrong way, but they're brakes, not breaks (unless they're broken). The search engine won't work for the next person looking for brake or brakes or braking. No worries, the keywords are in the thread...

Hold the horn down and jiggle the blackout switch in a semi-violent manner- sweeping through all its positions. If the horn blows, even momentarily, replace the switch. If not there are some nice diagrams in this thread. Start yanking out fuses and test them with a meter- see pg 4-31 of the -20

lol Well it could point to the switch, or it could just be that the horn doesn't work.

Does the horn work?

I had the same thing happen a few weeks ago. I noticed the brakes felt weak and the pedal was closer to the floor than I remembered- popped the cover and…hey, where did all the brake fluid go? I’m watching it right now. I had been parked on a hill, steeply nose-down so I wonder if it got...

I did an oil change today. The new GP Module is working great and thanks Antennaclimber for all the extra assistance!

Yeesh. So I replaced the wire from the 12v bus to the top of the relay, replaced the relay, and replaced the temp sensor. Now the WAIT light doesn't illuminate at all. I still have 12v at the top post of the GP relay, and 12v to the top small terminal when the switch is in start, but no WAIT...

Well it doesn't want to start at all today, and I'm almost out of parts to throw at it. The wire to the top of the solenoid isn't even getting warm, but I'll upgrade it anyway. I guess I'll start looking for the relay part number and try that. The good thing is that I have so much annual and...

OK, that makes sense. I followed the plan up on the stickies and just reused the wire and fusible link from the 24v system. I have some 6ga around here somewhere, I'll try a short run of that from the 12v bus to the relay and see if that helps. If it gets better but not better enough, I'll...

I found a decent temp-fix for the wonky speedometer and disappearing dash lights problems. It's an app I bought because I thought it looked cool but never used. With the phone mounted on the dash it works great and now I can see my speed, important when going through the 25MPH zone in town...
