    Starter Continues to Crank Until I Disconnect Battery

    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...

    Starter Continues to Crank Until I Disconnect Battery

    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!!!!!

    Starter Continues to Crank Until I Disconnect Battery

    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...

    Thanks Valor, the tapping didn't change anything, I spent some time and took the starter out. Tommorow I will get into the solenoid and see what's up.

While key in run 24v continued to draw. I confirmed...

    Starter Continues to Crank Until I Disconnect Battery

    I removed both cables but couldn't get a reading on the back post. I got a zero on the post in the middle and bolt on the side of the case, with both cables removed. Was this done correctly? I attached a couple pictures but have had trouble before.

    Good thanks. It came to me with the key switch, I will try to source one without a key.

    Starter Continues to Crank Until I Disconnect Battery

    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...
