Yes. I bypassed the pcb and it fired up great.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Help! I'm new to the forum, don't usually like asking for help, but I'm stuck. My m923a2 (just bought) is having issues starting. Sometimes you turn the batt switch on and all that happens is a click. No gauges or anything else. I took my pcb apart and it looks just like plode's picture on here. Only one solenoid is clicking when I turn on the batt switch. I tried tapping in the other one but to no avail. I'm at my whits end here. Any help should be much appreciated
I say rebuild! My rebuild went just fine. Now that I know how to do it, I can get myself out of a (dead start) situation. From now on, I will always keep a set of rescue jumper wires in the tool box. Knowing how to jump-start from the harness, or right on the starter is a must! It could save you hundreds (if not) thousands of dollars on a tow charge. My advice to anyone with a big truck is to learn it, and practice with confidence. I was very lucky because there were several instances of failure before the battery solenoid went out. I didn't know what was going on? Luckily I was back home.I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if this ever went anywhere? I would definitely pay to have mine rebuilt versus buying a NOS.
Yeah, 10/4 on that.PCB’s with a circuit board have starter re-engagement protection, they prohibit the starter to be engaged if the engine is already running. This is typically monitored via an AC output from the alternator or oil pressure signal.
Best PCB jumper is a dead PCB box. Cut the connector out, and place a shorting wire link between the battery terminals. Then can just plug into harness.
