    FMTV Battery hook up diagram

    BT3 & BT4 are the 12V batteries in parallel(voltage is referenced to ground). If your replacing batteries, I would highly recommend you drop to 2 batteries, especially if they are 6TL’s, and stay away from the AGMs… The 4 battery 6tl bank was gross milspec overkill and a terrible match for...

    FMTV Battery hook up diagram

    Well if you don't have it your 12v will consist of a single battery as you only have one 12v lead exiting the battery box. Without that jumper you can only connect that single lead to a single battery. With the struggle to keep the 12v side fully charged, this might not be a bad thing, will...

    New Rig

    I believe that dash 12v switch allows you to measure the 12V side of the electrical power system. I suspect it is momentary and when released monitors the 24v side of the system Like the 24v gauge does in the A0. Looking at the diagram which appears to be drawn incorrectly, I believe that is...

    New Rig

    The air dryer purges every time the compressor reaches full pressure and unloads. So the more air you use the more often it purges. The air compressor cycles on around 105 PSI and should cycle off around 125 PSI. It senses the wet tank pressure to do this. If the front and rear brake...

    Its finally here!

    Cool! I had a mouse nest under the instrument panel. They used the drivers seat cover to make the nest but didn’t touch the wiring… that mess looks like outside material so hopefully yours is the same. Lots of space inside the entire dash for them to make a mess though…

    M1078A1 Self Recovery Winch stuck in Engaged

    There is a complete exploded view of the winch in the 24P manual. It looks like a multi-layer motorcycle clutch. The lever rotates a cam against a plate that compresses the discs. The first thing I would check is if the cam is rotating With the lever, the two are pinned together. If it is...

    M1078A1 “warmup” switch popping C/B

    The pac-brake solenoid gets its power from different sources for the two different modes. In warmup it originates at CB77 via the trans neutral relay K26 and the brake/warmup switch Then on to the solenoid and ground. In brake/retard mode the solenoid power originates at the ECU And is...

    Transmission Module won't light up, preventing normal engine start.

    Under the passenger dash you will find the wtecIII controller. It has 3 plugs on it. They should have metal tags/bands around the wire bundle on them identifying them. On the III the keypad is just that, a pushbutton user interface. You shouldn’t have to remove the wheel, just loosen the...

    Transmission Module won't light up, preventing normal engine start.

    CB 79 provides 24V ignition to P116-4 on the controller under the passenger dash. CB 43 provides 24V battery power, to P115 pins 1 and 16 At the controller… and as mentioned, lift the dash panel and check the connector at the keypad also…

    Need Help Starting 2003 A1 M1078 - Addison, Texas

    Well like I said earlier, voltage isn’t good until tested under load. A high resistance connection will pass full voltage with no load applied to it(resistance resists current flow not voltage). But the voltage will quickly fall on its face as soon as you try and draw any current. Bad...

    Need Help Starting 2003 A1 M1078 - Addison, Texas

    What NDT said, whats going click when you turn on the main switch and what goes click when you push the button. You also need to measure the voltage at the power test points in the power panel WHILE you are pushing the start button(voltage isn’t good until tested under load)…

    Shelter/van body mounting options

    Well that one having cutouts for the wheels looks like it was mounted directly to a frame, so it probably has a sub frame already attached to it… it might require some significant modification to set on a flatbed cleanly, including removing that skirt that has the wheel cutouts. That may...

    M1078 hard shift

    Someone someone else had a bad position sensor, but that was hard shifting while driving. I get the impression from the OP that this happens when he enters 1st gear using the buttons on the control. 1st uses that P6 clutch pack up under the rear case of the transfer, but other than it’s...
