    M-series flasher relay - civvy conversion how-to

    Excellent post, (not sorry for reviving it) I did the mod and all signals work except back passanger. I checked voltage at the socket and it seems to be the same as the driver side socket that is working. I tried three different bulbs as well. Any idea what could be wrong?

    Sparks and Smoke from above steering wheel, now no "Wait" or "Brake" Indicator

    Found 2 wires completely destroyed and nearly welded together. one was a 27 wire heading to Smart Box. Fixed the two wires and she fired right up! Im really surprised this isnt a more common issue?

    Sparks and Smoke from above steering wheel, now no "Wait" or "Brake" Indicator

    You were exactly right! the steering knuckle was rubbing the main wire loom over the steering shaft. Not only did I find a random broken ground (Not part of the main ground harness) but I saw the webbing around the loom was broken. I used my video scope to get closer and bingo damaged wires and...

    Sparks and Smoke from above steering wheel, now no "Wait" or "Brake" Indicator

    Thank you so much for the better diagram. I cannot for the life of me find a STI/ICE pin diagram. Is it the same as the 4l80 diagnostic port layout?

    Sparks and Smoke from above steering wheel, now no "Wait" or "Brake" Indicator

    seems like all of those wires are hard to access. How did you get them so loose?

    Sparks and Smoke from above steering wheel, now no "Wait" or "Brake" Indicator

    no it just lifted the tire up, and bend the jack pretty good!

    Sparks and Smoke from above steering wheel, now no "Wait" or "Brake" Indicator

    Well, finally got all of the chores done on HMMWV went to take it for a test drive and accidentally ran over my hi-lift jack, I put it in drive to move over the jack but I heard sparks and looked forward to see sparks and smoke coming from somewhere behind the "dash" (seemed to be coming from...

    Constant 12V for Transmission Temperature Gauge

    well aware its 24v hence the problem. "2: Can the constant 12V wire be tied into the 12V ignition trigger (I have a stepdown triggered on an ignition relay for other 12V accessories)" - from my first post.

    Constant 12V for Transmission Temperature Gauge

    I talked to the Gauge mfr and they said its perfectly fine to tie they constant source into the ignition sourced power. Mechanic brother in law said the constant power may be used to store programs or functions (like high/low or what color to display) since Im not too concerned about that Im...

    Constant 12V for Transmission Temperature Gauge

    Im trying to install a Transmission temperature gauge before some longer trips I have planned. I can't decide what to do about the 12V constant power wire the gauge requires. 1: Why does a temp gauge or any guage need a constant power wire? 2: Can the constant 12V wire be tied into the 12V...

    Custom Metal Doors Turned Out Great!

    Slowly knocking out projects, just finished passanger door and was pleased enough to share with you all. Honestly it turned out so well Im considering making a dozen or so and selling them! 3/16 aluminum panels cut and bent to shape with stainless locking latch and 1/2 slide windows (meant for...

    Nylon 'Equalizing'? Line on Gas Tank?

    I guess, not sure why you would need to vent the front of the tank with the back of the tank but oh well. I bought some new tubing and "clasps" to reuse the compression fittings. All is good now.(y)

    Nylon 'Equalizing'? Line on Gas Tank?

    maybe mine was replaced and cut just barely long enough in stock form because there was no way it was reaching from front to back while still going through the frame, it was a solid inch short. Looks like Im buying a compression union, that should give me an inch or two and reconnect it all.

    Nylon 'Equalizing'? Line on Gas Tank?

    While installing my 2" body lift I could tell the nylon tube that connects the front to the back of the gas tank wasn't going to stretch and fit while still going the subframe. I cut the compression fitting off to pull through the subframe thinking that would give me enough slack to reconnect...

    Self Canceling Turn Signal Arm Dimensions

    Yes sir, drove it around a few times and made one more tweek to the design. I attached a stl of the "final" design. I can make any other modifications if anyone wants any! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6335634

    Self Canceling Turn Signal Arm Dimensions

    I mocked one up and so far it works great! I'm using nearly solid ABS and the engagement pins are chamfered for strength. Couple of notes, Mine is a little too tall, it is backed all the way to the steering wheel spokes and sometimes doesn't want to clear the turn signal switch (an easy fix) it...

    Self Canceling Turn Signal Arm Dimensions

    Hello all! If someone could provide me with semi-detailed dimensions of their turn signal cancel ring Ill mock one up in CAD and 3D print to try out. If we can get it to work Ill post a link to the download for the STL file. Ill also send a 3D printed Prototype with custom engraving to whoever...
