"Handles" for rear side windows, anyone know what goes there?
"Bought as seen" was the deal. Now I'm wondering what belongs on the side windows of the hood as a handle and whether you can repair them yourself or not. Or should one leave the "Pandora's box" unopened and do nothing at all on the...
On the front left corner window, the locking "hook" is loose. Can someone link the description here or link a thread here that explains how to install and remove this?
I assume that this is possible, but I do not know exactly how...
With every move I make, I realize how inexperienced I am.
So over Easter was again some time to do some work on the Blazer.
First I checked the fuses to the warning light 4WD and alternator 1, both fuses are ok.
Then with the engine running I checked the generators. - From the driver's point...
Dear SteelSoldier Community,
thanks Ray for the reference to your thread where you described the test. (y) :)
I'm still a little unsure, as I had lost track with the description and the pictures, where I have to check with the multimeter.
But if I understood correctly, I have to bridge the...
M1009, 6.2 Diesel - Check generator 1 and generator 2.
The indicator light of the "Generator 2" does not light up. But it also does not light up when I initiate the starting process of the M1009 by turning the ignition switch. Check light comes on before starting the engine. However, I know...

Thanks a lot, that's a really purposeful, so really awesome link and service. very nice.
But unfortunately there are only two countries without regestration.
With registration you get your own address in the USA and the service is possible in different countries. If the service is not...
The control indicator "4 WD active" in the dashboard is not lit.
I had already tested the bulb and it is functional, there was also no break in the ladder path in the dashboard display.
Now the next question would be where is the best place for me to check this. I saw at a parts store the...
Hello and thank you for the explanation.
Thus, with the operating voltage 12 v and the direct bridging of the two test leads should be a movement of the tank indicator, or do I see that wrong, since with a normal cable 1-2 ohms of resistance value are achieved.
Does one possibly know which...

Dear Steel Soldier Community,
to my regret I could not find a clear explanation in the TM and this thread (link) how to check the fuel gauge on the ex military M1009. I would like to exclude one possibility, running the 100 liter tank empty.
Is there anywhere I can measure / test if the gauge...
Dear Steel Soldier Community,
I have 1001 questions and every time I pull into the garage because I've spent hours on the vehicle again, I have "at least" one new question.
If I just ask them here in the thread, they get lost or we digress in parts.
😥
I will create a separate thread for each...
"two steps forward and one step back..."
OK, after removing the dash and speedometer again over the weekend, I checked all the wires again and found a loose connector. After fixing the plug to its socket, the speedometer background light was also burning again.
Finally, at long last, this ToDo...
Hello together,
First of all, thank you for the answers you have given so far.
You may notice as a reader, how I am very slowly step by step. For someone who has disassembled the interior of his Blazer endless times, it is 12 screws and 4 handles.
For me it was 5 sweats, always a checking look...
I have of course turned the switch lever "right" and "left" around several times. Thus - according to my understanding - tested the dimming function.
Headlights, marker lights go. Lamps (bulbs) in the display area (speedometer) go.
Does it make a difference in which final end orientation the...
OK...
Moving on...
Last weekend was again an "oldtimer" working day.
First of all for explanation:
The M1009 is about 20 - 24 min car ride away, dry and safe in an underground garage. it does not have a drop of oil underneath and nothing is running or leaking. But it has all the necessary...
Hello dear Steelsoldier Community,
Does anyone know a source where to get this military metal plate regarding the light circuit? (See picture)
Of course it can be a remake, if it is half like the original.
It seems that one of the previous owners of my M1009 took it out and pasted small signs...
