I'm just having the fortune of experiencing the no start issues. I've had my M998 a couple of weeks, the one good thing about it was how well it starts. Then today I need to move it and all of a sudden, the PCB just clicks when you try to start but nothing from the starter.
I hooked a slave cable up from my 5 ton in case the batteries had been drained but doesn't make a difference. One thing I notice is a click and the voltmeter dropping while start switch is in the run position. I think that has something to do with the glow plugs.
I've been searching through threads for an hour about wiring harnesses, replacement easy start boxes etc. But I've been thinking, why not just bypass the control box all together? Wire the glow plugs to a switch and use them when needed.
Then the start switch directly controls the starter and fuel shut off. Has anyone tried that? I haven't fully gone through the TM and completely thought this through but I don't like the idea of a bad glow plug or something frying an expense box and leaving me stranded somewhere.
Thoughts?
RetiredWarHorse, I left you a vm about a EESS.
