I could either bypass it (plugging 29T back into itself) or just cap the blue "J10 Ignition Interface" wire...

    HMMWV Ballistic Windshield Glass Needed - Passenger (Right) Side Only - Will Trade for Left!

    Trying to identify this rattling noise coming from the Rear AC unit. The overall front and rear system blows cold and compressor runs fine. No leaks. Think it’s the blower motor? If so, can that be replaced without disturbing the refrigerant lines? See video for example of the noise:

    Hawker Batteries

    My HMMWV came with two Hawker Armasafe Batteries and they charged right up (12.6-12.8V). Date codes are similar (0916-24). I had already purchased two Optima Yellow-Tops for the vehicle, so these are extra. Or are the Hawker’s better and I should use them instead? What are they worth if I just...
