    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    If I simply remove the solenoid will that allow fuel to flow? looks like solenoid default position is fuel off when solenoid off and there is a spring that holds lever. With solenoid energized it looks like it pulls lever off valve. That would seem that removing solenoid altogether will allow...

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    Here is schematic of IP. Looks like 19 is hose bringing fuel from filter and 13 is check valve with 10 hose for fuel return. So the hose loop/manual valve would have to be spliced into 19 somewhere??

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    Where would you put the check valve and why do you need it? I picture the solenoid/fuel disconnect essentially the same as a manual cutoff. So why is the ball valve necessary?

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    I think this is half of what we do on most forums LOL. Your idea gave me another idea. I don't want to make it more complicated with cables, and plungers, etc. It looks like at least the 'lever' can be 'locked' in open position. So maybe do that and then the other thing left is how to run...

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    I wonder if there is a way to 'bypass' with some tubing in an emergency? Seems like there is an intake hose barb and and return. Don't know how it gets into the actual IP and if there is a way to hook up a hose there. And if that's the case I wonder if you could just set up something with a...

    How does HMMWV shut down? Fuel shut off solenoid questions.

    Just wanted to confirm the way the HMMWV shuts down is by de-energizing the fuel shut off solenoid on the injection pump?? I'm assuming this as there are no other electric parts other than glow plugs and starter on startup. But once started there is nothing else electrical keeping it going...

    When current gets pulled in reverse. I might be using wrong terms. I’ve tried reading about this and have hard time pulling much up on google. Might be using wrong search terms. Adding to what we were discussing. For example, rear battery ground disconnected then someone turns on...

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    Agree. These are dual switches. if you disconnect the inter battery cable there will be no way for forward battery to find ground. the reason to use that as disconnect is it’s SLL local, ie easier to run and hookup cables to switch. otherwise hard to extend VR cable.

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    I hooked it all up tonight. Main ground is on switch. Did not add the interbattery cable to the switch or the 12V or 14V alternator to the switch. Interestingly the lights can still go on and some of the gauges click on. I did NOT try to cycle plugs or try to start for fear of blowing...

    Military Cutoff Disconnect Switch HMMWV Battery

    That’s the way they are set up from factory at least for the TCM 12V. I have a 200amp alternator with 14V feed. My understanding is this will keep it in balance. Is this wrong?

    Dashboard Resistor?

    What is this for? I found what it was in TM. It sits behind the gauges. What happens if I remove it? It wasn’t plugged unto anything even though connectors there.
