Warthog Per your PM that my computer wouldn't let me respond to: All 4 bulbs that are up in the left corner of the dash work, but none of them will work in the #2 position even though it shows 24V at that position. Is there anyway to trace the ground side of that circuit. Something in the...

Where would I find the other end of the circuit boards ground?

Doghead.......No I did not clean the flexible circuit board, I wouldn't know how to do it for fear of bending and breaking a circuit. I did pull the entire dash panel out and looked for a broken connection, but all seemed fine. If I have power at the #2 light fitting (and I do!), and ALL my...

Warthog.......well crud, I messed that up, as I was switching the bulbs around, and I don't know which one is which!........DOH! ALL 4 bulbs DO work, but NOT in the #2 position, but yet I have 24.6V at that position but NONE of the bulbs work there! I can't understand that! I am thoroughly...

Probably isn't the diode, as I just have NO power to #2's excitr wire.......that's got to be the problem. Everything was fine until I mounted all the relays on that plate. So after church this afternoon I plan to remove that plate and the relays from them, and see what I can sort out.....It's...

I AM BUMMED!! She's DOWN AGAIN! I put in the dash, and started the truck, I had 14.5V at both alternators....all was well. My truck had the starter relay and the other two plasric relays tucked up under the dash, along with the diagnosis plug. On one of the spare wiring harness I received it...

Thanks to ALL of you for all the replies and help. Warthog......Actually, I get to rebuild an alternator for the FIFTH time! I'm getting pretty good at this! Sometimes they even work! And while I'm still not fond of electrial work, I'm no longer scared.......you just have to get your hands...

UPDATE to the UPDATE, 03-25-11 This is in reply to MY post above. I swapped the good alternator out of it's #1 spot, and put it in the #2 spot. I put my old winding and armmeter in the bad altrnator and put it in #1's spot. This time when I started the Blazer #2 battery was charging but not...

I didn't have a chance to work on the Blazer today, but just checked this thread. Thank you all for the good input. Warthog I have replaced All of my fusible lnks, and I have power everywhere I'm supposed to so I don't think that's it. And the 24 V fuse is fine but I had no power coming out...

Mistaken1 Cool! Hopefully tomorrows project if I can fit it in.

Hey........I just had a thought, I still have the armmeter and winding from my original Alt 2 that I broke the case on. I'm wondering if it was possible to damage the armmeter or winding on my current alt 2 when I got the arc mentioned in my last post when I hooked up the battery, as I did it...

Mistaken1 No I did not, maybe I should take it to a shop. I only changed the bolt in internal parts. Stampy Yes both of mine are isolated ground types #1 works, #2 doesn't after rebuilding them both last night, and #2 again today. Exciter wires both work now sinse by-passing the fusebox...

UPDATE 03-20-11 Exciter Wire Question When I last reported in about a month ago, my fusebox had 4 melted contact points. Thanks to HAWKMAN, 2deuce and Warthog, I got an extra fusebox and engine harness plug, and was going to slice and dice all the wires. But I soon found out I was in way over...

No, the one on a 5-ton harness is a lot bigger. But if your plug is in reasonable shape you can take the wires out of the deuce plug, and put them in the correct spots on your 5-ton plug. I put a 5-ton rear harness in a deuce about 15 years ago, and had to put the 5-ton wires into the deuce...

Pinwormfood: My CUCV has been down for over 3 months, so I ain't your expert, but I'm learning, and I think some of the information you've been provided is bogus, compared to what I have learned both from manuals and the help of some very electrically educated members on this site. I just...

No sorry, I am technically deficient, and don't have a way to post up pictures, with my dial up webtv. Do you have the fuse block, and it's wires too? I need everything on both sides of the fire wall, I don't care if I get the whole wiring system under the dash or not, I plan on splicing the...

Barrman I thought the black stuff might be some type of grease, but I still got two melted connectors. Something definitely went wrong in there.

Hey Hawkman, by dash harness w/panel what panel are you refering to......the dash gage panel, or the fuse box? Warthog, how long are the wires coming out of the firewall side of the fuse box? Long enough to crimp my wires to the new plug? and what about the wires on the fuse box side? Thanks...

I've been fighting electrcal gremlins for 3 months on my M1009. Today I think I found the culprit. there is a big plug that screws into the rear of the fuse box underneath the master cylinder, I removed it today, to find it had melted. The heat was so intense two of the brass contacts were...

UPDATE: 02-07-11, 1700 Hrs. OK.......I think I found the problem. I had power coming into the fuse box for both exciter wires, but nothing coming out and going to the alternator side of the exciter wires. So I figured the problem must lie in the fuse box some where. I noticed a screw head...
