I was thinking exactly what you wrote. I was thinking what difference would it make if I replaced the volt meter with a 24V gauge used in all the M series vehicles. I was told by a couple CUCV owners that "oh no, you need to replace the volt meter with the same type". The voltmeter in the...

Hi Warthog. I'm going to tackle the voltmeter this week. You mentioned a 24v fuse....where? on the fuse box? Secondly I tried to find the 300 ohm resister for the voltmeter but no one has one (to include Radio Shack).

Thank you to everyone who gave me the heads up on my horn problem. The horn was dead. Installed new horn on the left had inner fender just in front of the windshield washer fluid container. Ran the wiring from behind the grille thru the body opening just below the headlight. Put in a "high"...

Thank you for your insight and advise. Anything electrical, I usually do disconnect the batteries. The relay closest to the starter relay is the one I replaced. According to the under dash diagram, this is the Voltmeter relay. But you did give me some insight and I will replace the other...

Thank you again for all the information. I have just one more question, nothing to do with the horn. The voltmeter on the dash stopped working after I had to replace the right hand alternator because it stopped charging. So, when I had to replace the starter relay, I also replaced the...

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. I shall replace the horn but remount it under the hood somewhere along the inner fender and run wire from the connection behind the grille to the horn. I really don't want to create a disaster trying to remove the dead horn. A standard 12V horn...

While on active duty, I had the opportunity to drive the cucv's and never experienced any of the problems I have had with my cucv. I was an MP at Tompkins Barracks Heidelberg, Germany. The M1009 was our main patrol vehicle. Our Blazers accumulated a lot of miles on them and none of them...

Thank you for the reply. I used a test light on the wiring that connects to the capacitor and continues from the capacitor to the horn. Power going into capacitor but no power coming out of capacitor. I also ran a jumper wire from the battery closest to the firewall to the horn. I figure...

The horn on my 1985 M1009 decided to stop working a few days ago. When I press on the horn button all I hear is a clicking sound from under the dash. I checked the fuse and it's good. Did the horn relay switch go bad? I also noticed a capacitor in the wiring just before the connection to...
