    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    @WWRD99 Here are pics of the Sensor, including the wires and plugs. The original wires for the sensor were colored. As you can see the new wires are both black. I used the A & B letters as reference to wire the new plug. The Yellow Wire is a new piece of wire. The old wire was short, so I...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    I will have to pop the hood and take a few pictures of the wiring, in order to answer you questions. If I recall, the wires are both black, but I’ll have to double check. I’ll get back to you soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    @dougco1 Would I just test the sensor using a Continuity Test? Put the black probe end of the multimeter into the negative part of the plug (on the sensor) and touch any part of the positive probe (grounding it) on the engine? And do that to the other end, the end that plugs into the top of the...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    Hello Again When I started the engine in that video, it was cold. You’re right about the Voltmeter not pulsating. I realized I never checked the temp sensor with a multimeter. I will do that next, it won’t hurt. I’ll report back, thank you for the input. I need the help and appreciate it...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    Just as a test, I disconnected the Temperature Sensor as well as the Fuel Heater plug (that’s one thing I repaired the wires for earlier on). I wanted to see if the Water in Fuel light would still flash if these two items were unplugged. I also wanted to see what would happen with the Glow...

    What’s This Part For?

    I’m preparing to tighten up and organize the wiring under my dash. Just a quick question: what is this part under the steering column? I think it’s a relay. But for what? I circled the part, it has Green, Yellow & Tan wires. Thank you for any input. You guys rock!! Sent from my...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    I’ll take a look at the charts and see if I can find the grounds for the circuits the Water in Fuel Light is on. Then I’ll check the Ground wires I find. I’ve already had to repair a few, what’s another one to have to fix right? I’m happy to hear that the dimming lights is normal. I just wasn’t...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    Stupid question, I’m still learning: the Water in Fuel light Flashes right before the power goes up into the Green on the Voltmeter. That’s not normal right, the flashing? Afterglow, that’s an interesting thing to learn, makes sense. I’ve thought maybe it (Voltmeter) should go up to normal...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    Interesting things I discovered. I unplugged the High Idle Switch and there was still a power draw after start up. The same thing happened when I unplugged the Water in Fuel Sensor. Now I’m wondering if it could be the Ignition Switch, or the Glow Plug Relay. I’ll check those next. I may...

    Anyone Know the Length: Negative Battery Cable for Front Battery??

    You guys called it right. I found this 48” 2 Gauge Cable at Auto Zone. Just have to finish it up in the morning. One of the nuts is stripped on the opposite end of the battery end. Thanks again for the help, I deeply appreciate the input. I’ll post a photos once I’m done for anyone who might...

    Anyone Know the Length: Negative Battery Cable for Front Battery??

    Thank you for that! Be careful, I’d hate for you to get hurt doing something so simple. I don’t have the right measuring tape myself. I don’t know where my wife keeps the non metal one. Doh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone Know the Length: Negative Battery Cable for Front Battery??

    My Front Negative Battery Cable, the end that goes on the battery is stripped out. I’d like to just replace the entire negative cable. Does anyone know the length or have a link to one? I wasn’t able to find one via Hilly Billy Wizard. They have many different ones at O’Reilys, but I don’t...

    Where Do These Wires Go/What are They For??

    I was looking at the wiring (near the Fuel Filter) for my CUCV M1009 and I noticed this a Big Plug. I can see one end comes out of the insulated tubing and goes to the Plug and the other end goes into to the cab (circled near the resistor on the firewall). Where do the wires end up? What are...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    @dougco1 I switched the glow plug cards out. Still the same thing. I was thinking about it all. It did all of this before and after I replaced the Temperature Sensor. Maybe it’s the Glow Plug Relay? I replaced it last year though. As far as the New Temp Sensor, is there a way to Test it? More...

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    The Wait Light is functioning normally. You have me thinking. I do have my old card, I’ll try switching it out and see if anything changes. I’ll report back soon. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any Ideas What’s Going On With My Dashboard Lights??

    I went ahead and fixed alternator 2 (I shorted it by accident) and I replaced the Relays for the Voltmeter & Gen 2. I disconnected the Ground Wire from the CB Radio as well. I discovered the previous owner wired it to a Hot Wire. I did this in case it’s drawing power when the vehicle is parked...

    Gen 2 Light Stays On While Engine is Running

    Alt. 2 has been fixed and the Gen. 2 light is now off! When I tested both batteries with the engine running they’re at 28.5v. I suspect that’s because the rear battery is a little low, but I’m hoping that will change once I go drive her for a while and charge things back up. Thanks again for...

    Gen 2 Light Stays On While Engine is Running

    I got brave and took apart one of the old alternators. I believe I found the regulator. The piece below that’s white on one side and tan on the other with the two prongs on top. Pics below: This piece was sitting on top of the Regulator: I went ahead and ordered these 2 parts. They should...
