hi guys, after not even 100 miles I am here again, my humvee (m1045a2) fried the second control box too. I am attaching pictures. I would like to know if any of you make manual control boxes (reasonably price) and if you are willing to ship one to me in italy.
keeps frying mosfets, what could be due to? glow plugs replaced along with new engine about 2000 km ago.
control box nartron.
thanks in advance
regards

Sandro

My signature line contains a link on how to “restify”, (restore with modifications), PCB/EESS with schematics and explanations.

You are doing something wrong, something is wrong or you are buying used unknown condition boxes, because as a shop that only uses OEM KDS and Narton S3 start boxes, I hAve maybe 1 box a year that is faulty , and those are from the auction that were blown when the truck arrived and most likely blown by improper slave starting….not enough information in youre OP.

Ciao, la mia smart box l'ho comprata usata ma provata, in Italia non è facile trovarle e comprarle dagli USA è molto costoso. Ho provato a contattare il venditore e mi ha detto che secondo lui è il regolatore che brucia le smart box. Non so se è possibile. Quando si è rotta la prima scatola, ho misurato la corrente sul regolatore e dava circa 27 volt.
Ho potuto capire che si stava rompendo anche dall'odore e dall'ago che era sul rosso-giallo al minimo e andava sul verde solo quando davo gas

Hi, my smart box I bought it used but tested, in Italy it is not easy to find them and buying them from the US is very expensive. I tried to contact the seller and he told me that according to him it is the regulator that burns the smart boxes. I don't know if this is possible. When the first box had broken, I measured the current on the regulator and it gave about 27 volts.
I could tell that it was also breaking down both from the smell and from the needle that was on red-yellow at idle and only went to green when giving gas

Sir, use the instructions in my signature line to rebuild your box. Undertake at your own risk.
