Both batteries tested as OK. We tried the ignition switch a few minutes ago and it powered on, but there was a definite electrical "sizzle" in the circuit breaker area behind the passenger dash.

1997 S&S / BAE M1078 A0

Good afternoon. Our volunteer fire department has a M1078. One of our folks left the ignition switch on, and of course that killed the battery. We use two 12-volt batteries to power the truck. They were disconnected and charged separately; however in the process, the charger was put on the...

Hello everybody. Our M1078 A0 is having intermittent issues with turn signal lights not operating properly. Tried swapping out relays and trying to see if there may be a short, but so far, no luck. The right front signal seems to be the one that does what it pleases. Any tech savvy folks...

Hello all. Kill Devil Hills on the Outer Banks. FD owned M1078 A0.

Maybe contact North American Signal. The info is in my original post. They were the supplier, and sent the correct connector with mine.

If you're driving it back, pack a lunch. That was a looong ride home. 54 or 55 is all I could get out of it. :p We had to buy 2 batteries for ours before we left the yard. Have since converted it to a 2 battery system.

Are you getting it from the state yard in Raleigh?

I was hoping to see if there are any military folks or shops that work on the M1078 type of trucks. Our fire department has a few issues that we need addressed, but unfortunately, not many folks in our community that can work on them. Hoping to find someone or a place in North Eastern NC or...

Good stuff. I was wondering the same about our 97 M1078. It has the hand throttle.

Hello all. Glenn from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Our fire department picked up a 1997 S&S M1078. It is in very good shape. Our department doesn't have any members that served in the modern military, so we're at a disadvantage on the ins and outs of the M1078. I'll probably have a...
