I've read the TMs and followed them through. I cannot really come to any conclusion though. The relay is indeed and isolated ground relay. I feel like the card isn't sending a ground out through the blue wire. If I ground that out from the GO controller box then it will kick on.
The temp...
Thanks for everyone's help so far, and sorry for the late response. The temp sensor wires checked out fine according to the TM. I figured out today that both of the small wires going to the relay are grounded when the key is off then both are +12V when the key is on. Why isn't the blue wire...
Ive followed the TM and it points to the card. The relay does not come on by itself. If I jump the light blue wire to a ground it clunks, drops the volt meter down as it should, and fires up immediately after I turn the key.
When I manually jump the relay, I get a solid clunk and it starts fine. Without that, it will crank all day without firing. I have a hard time justifying the card being bad. It looks to be in great condition and nothing burnt. I ohmed all the circuits on the board and none of the circuits are...
I just followed the TM for testing the controller card, all the wires check out fine. If I manually ground the blue wire at the relay or at the card, it will turn the relay on. I only seem to have 2 wires on the "ground" area, but they are both fine.
This is looking like its the card. Is it...
Before I begin, yes I have searched and yes I have done all the basic troubleshooting. All I have found is people switching to manual glow plugs. I want to fix mine properly.
Here is what I have: my stock glow plug relay died, I looked around and found my local oreily had the s603 in stock. I...
Ok, All the wiring that was messed up has been returned to stock. It was just wired around the starter relay, and volt meter. Those have been fixed and since I had to replace my starter and couldn't find a 24V one, I bought a 12V one from Advanced. I followed the 12V conversion method found on...
If I converted my system back to 12V, would I need the relay? Is the switched 12V enough to power the solenoid? This seems like it could be a stupid question, I only ask because I don't recall most vehicles having a relay for the starter.
So, the blaz had a bad day. A really bad day. The starter has this thing where it likes to spin up before it kicks out. Well it did. And instead of taking all the teeth from the flywheel and starter, it snapped the entire cone from the starter. The part that holds the shaft in the...
Ok, Ive owned my M1009 for a few months now and I love it. Shes got a few issues though.
Typical Gen 2 light....just not so typical. The Gen. has been rebuilt, and tests fine. I'm not sure if the "exciter" wire is getting "excited". Does this have anything to do with the starter relay? Or...
Not to bring up an old thread...But my M1009 has a 700rd, and its great. I get 20mpg all day. ( even stomping it to scare the little kids with my non-existent mufflers) I can run 75MPH all day long with out my motor revving much at all. I dont have a tach, but id assume its just over 2000 RPM's...
Ok, so I figured out the leak is actually from the whole ghasket that goes aroung the filter box. Also, I need some help on my starter wiring. My relay seems to work just fine. And I'd like to hook it back up and get rid of the ghetto switch. I just have no idea where to start. What wires should...
1: Its the tube coming off the bottem that dumps on the frame rail about where the fender ends.
2: Ill doing some testing and fixing later this week, Ill get back about that then.
3: Where is this idle screw adjuster at?
4: I need to go to the junk yard anyway. This sould be easy.
5: what did...
Ok, sorry I havent responded all weekend. I got all the lights working on friday. It was a mixture of bad bulbs, loose fuses, and bad grounds....also a janky brake switch. Got it all working and driving it ever since. I also put all now battery connectors and hold downs because the old ones got...
Ive got a volt meter, but im not sure what I should be checking for. I dont mean to sound clueless...because Im fairly good with wiring. Im just a little confused when it comes to an entire vehicles system.
There was a ghetto stereo hacked into the spot where the factory stereo was soposed to...
hahaha. The "Ghetto switch" is the original black out light switch that has 2 stereo amp wires running to the starter and 24v block that runs the starter.
Im aware of the brake light switch, I was just wondering if these went bad, or if I could test it.
Thanks everyone. You've all been a...
Its soposed to be a 10amp right? It seems to be fine. Is there a way to test the switch that turns them on and off? I didnt look at the turn signal grounds yet, its dark and cold here...lol. Ill look tomorrow, also the right signal works fine when the lights are off. A tad slow, but it works...
You guys are the greatest. Ill get pics when I've got a bit more time to work on it. When I got home today I pulled out the hacked up stereo that the guy said bust blew fuses all the time. Put a new fuse in and I've got lights! I have to have the serivce light switch up and the regular light...
Thanks for the info about the manuals in the FAQ threads. I dint know those were there. As far as the current hack job goes: I don't care if its factory, but I want it to be clean, and safe. All the army lights, and other crap can be removed...that makes no difference to me. The starting thing...
Thanks guys. Its still the 24v system, the "30amp" fuse is actually a 15amp in mine..I'm assuming that's wrong. And its not blown either. Which leads me to think its not even being powered. All the interior will be gutted and rebuilt, there are too many hacked wires to trace and figure out so I...
