    Bypassing the blower fuse

    I'm looking to bypass my damaged blower fuse port and though I've read a few examples I would like to document it for anyone else with some pictures.. If this has been done I can't find it. I guess first I'll need to identify the wires on the back of the fuse block (I remembered that Warthog...

    ENGINE CONTROL FUSE BLOWING #17 20a

    Hey Tinstar Thanks for the comment, can you clarify then that the picture is not the temp sensor but the Hi idle solenoid ? Or are you saying the wiring is for the Hi idle solenoid ?

    Clunk but doesn't Always turn over

    Took the starter apart, the brushes looked good and no obvious damage, plenty of life in them. When I removed the solenoid the small stud for the signal wire dropped inside the unit it took me the next 2hrs to de-soldier the tab and to prise the top off it to get it out. Once it was all back...

    M 1008 Trannny Issue Thankful for any IDEAS

    Christianfishn mentioned the same thing above .. here was mine (pink) it had a hair crack in it. It's possible to replace it insitu (with an aluminium one) paying close attention that you loose none of the check valves when you spilt the valve body.. Easy on the bench and you can check the...
