To map out everything would have been. I only needed the lights working on 24v though, so about 80% of that mess was either terminated or eliminated. Took about 2 hours to find what I needed and another hour to wire it up.
Here is the inside of the magical converter box on some of the M1082 trailers. The purpose of the box is to allow the lights and ABS system to work whether connected to a 12v or 24v truck.
On the front door of the box there are 2 plugs. One is a 12 pin mil connecter and the other is a 7 pin...
The were some, but I didn't realize the nasty sun glare distorting most of the pictures until i looked at them later. I'll pop it back open next couple of days to finalize the last circuit and take some more. Given the voltages I was seeing with 24v input, there were multiple failures inside...

Replaced the brake valve on the tank. The original one had a leaking cover seal.
Replaced the upper sway bar bushings that had almost crumbled apart. The urethane LMTV bushings are direct...

I was on the driverside of the truck until I got it in position. I set the remote down to...
I reckon I have a new thread to crash now. Simp delivered this last week. Since I name all my toys, she will be called Lucky Strike. She's a M322 EET trailer made by Holden Industries Model # MTO20.
