    Quest for the Solid Yellow light

    That's a diode. I read someone's post about that and they said it was 1.5 amp but I don't know about the voltage rating. I'll try to post the link to a good discussion on these boxes. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/pcb-eess-smartstart-s3-i-pics-info.164930/ Good luck.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I changed the primary fuel filter/strainer on my M923A2. I filled up the canister almost all the way and was surprised that the truck started right up and kept running after I replaced it.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Glad you got that cap off. I just thought of this that might help you next time. This is an impact driver that you use with a hammer. It works real good for taking off stuck straight head and phillips head screws and such. You can get one at HF or just about any place that sells tools. You...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I didn't have a filter wrench big enough for the lube oil filter so I used my belt. Worked great.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Now that the temps here are cooling down, I changed lube oil and filter. Didn't see any oil drain plug gasket, not in drain pan. I used teflon tape on plug. Hope it doesn't leak. Will do trans and fuel filters next.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Check the windings with ah ohm meter with one probe grounded to the solenoid body, separate from the truck ground. You want to see if there might be a short in the windings. There should be infinite ohms, no continuity. If there is some, that means there is a short and pulling down the...

    Try checking the windings to ground, the solenoid housing. Maybe a short in winding?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    What's the resistance in the solenoid windings? Is there a spec of what it should be?

    Maybe check continuity on that electromagnet where the wires would connect. Can't see in the pic.
