load test your batteries individually when fully charged 12.4-12.6 I suspect one or both are not up to spec. I am ole and old school and use one of these to load test charged batteries...

Just wanted to make sure you know they use different brackets.

That USMC gmv probably went swimming on a beach...

Did you jump start it or slave it using the port? My swag is the batteries we're too low and should have been charged first. An arrant spark or surge fried the box most likely and let out the magic smoke.

i officially Jealous of your ride! :clinto: Nice score. The hood rack and fist grips are a small fortune plus all the other goodies :tank:

Narton makes a new model of the pushbutton that has a deeper face and fits the hmmwv dash better. I have that on my hmmwv with no issues. Also have the other style on my m923. Both require a supplemental ground wire.

Just a fyi when you look for parts. There are 2 parking brake handles. Early style did not lock and real easy to bump open (don't ask me how I know) and the revised locking handle. The new style is backwards compatible to upgrade.
