Thanks Mogman.
How do I tell if I have a dual voltage system? Took the attached picture to ask a different question, but you can see part of my rear battery. Can you tell from that photo? If not, what do I need to take a picture of?
Thanks for the input guys! A couple more questions:
Can someone explain the difference between a relay and a solenoid? They sound like they have similar functions, but I'm guessing there are times you use one over the other.
I've read it's a bad idea to just run leads off of one battery to get...
Can someone explain and/or show me pictures of the best way to run 12V accessories? I see a lot of videos on YouTube where people use 24/12V step down converters, but it looks like they run them directly off the battery and then into a fuse block. I want to have all my 12V accessories switched...
How do people have these wired? Specifically, is there a way to power a sound system through the ignition switch such that power to the sound system turns off when you turn the truck off? I just don't want to forget to turn the sound system off and have it run my battery down.
I finally found the TM with the diagram of where the resistor is. I know you said behind the instrument panel, but a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Thanks again!
I just bought an M1152 (my first Humvee). The AC doesn't work on it and only the high speed fan works (low speed doesn't seem to do anything). Could someone direct me to the right TM to start diagnosing the issue?
Hey tavakr, I see you're in Spokane; I am too. I just bought an M1152 from a guy in Post Falls, Idaho and got the registration processed for Washington. I haven't received the Washington title yet, but I put the plates are on and I'm driving it around. Did you end up getting your M1123 licensed?
That's funny. You may have guessed this is my first Humvee. It's the perfect shape for a repair plate. Wonder if I could buy a replacement access door and use it as a repair plate?
Thanks Retiredwarhorses. Here's a few pics with a tape measure. I also included a pic of what appears to be another repair. I like the way they did the other repair. You hardly notice it. I don't want to replace the whole middle floor panel (although thanks country for the link).
Is there a place you can order a deck patch that a person could just rivet in place? I see there's a couple of places where mine was repaired, but there's a big gash that wasn't repaired.
