What data plate is on your HMMWV.
Just curious. Most all of them I've ever seen have HMMWV on them not HUMVEE

if so did you remember to disconnect battery before swapping out control box.?
Are the batteries fully charged they may be new but need charging
Did you recently work on wiring or swap gauges ?

looks like the DOD required them to be on anything valued at $5,000 or more starting in 2005.
From what I read it is for the life of the vehicle even after upgrades so it sort of is a Vin # but for the military.
Interesting post.
Nowadays it may be more of a hindrance then a help when trying to...
Sounds like you should have just bought DSD277's truck .
It had all that kit in it.
even had the M6 pedestal mount and base plate.
I ended up with the base plate and M6 pedestal and 240
