I am definitely glad to be on the road! I don't know 100% what the "real" problem was, but I think I narrowed it down to the control box. The temp sensor is specific to the box and came with it. I read if you have a bad glow plug it can wreck the new box so I replaced them at the same time. I...

Well I finally got the thing running again! I replaced the starter control box and temp sensor, the starter, and glow plugs. Runs great, and now I have a hole in my wallet big enough to park the HMMWV in. 😆 Thanks for the help along the way everybody!!!!!

Got the solenoid open and the contacts appeared to be fused but don't know for certain. Second pic I wiped off some of the black. Will cleaning the contacts and reassembling be the best next step? I could connect it back to the wiring and test before installing. How do I know if it's toast...

Yes a key ignition.

Tried to start in cold weather today. It sounded like it was going to start but the starter never stopped cranking with the motor trying to start. I turned off the key and went around, removed the seat and yanked a battery cable off and got it to stop cranking. Went back to make sure the...
