M818 brake lights

[NMDUECESWILD]

My brake lights do not work with the foot peddle. They work fine with the trolley brake lever. The brakes work fine. I have changed the brake light switch. It appears as though I am not getting any air to the switch. How does the double check valve work. I am either not getting air pressure through this valve or I am not getting air pressure from the air pack. Any ideas on how to test this.

Just out of curiousity are you getting the 24V to the switch ??

Yes, and they work properly through the trolley brake control. When I changed the brake light switch i could get air flow through the trolley brake control but not when I applied the foot brake.

Okay found some time to check it out, I am getting air from the air pack but no air thru the check valve, I will order a check valve and see if that fixes my problem. I am not using any of the glad hands, can I put air directly to the brake light switch from the air pack or does the air from the air pack need to bleed off? Any comments would be appreciated

Love the front bumper/winch mount and your tires. I'd chuck the chromed lug nuts though.

Thanks, Not trying to go for a traditional military look. Heres a pic of it since we painted it and a pick some picks of the bed, it is an A101 trailer we stretched 3' and built new fenders. When we get the truck out of the shop I'll post more pics.[/ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

I was thinking the same thing as i saw the pics!


I've not seen the stretched 105 before, what a cool idea!

Also love the front bumper!

The bed is a 101. it is the same width as the cab. The tires stick out from the bed. We will use this truck to pull stuff around in the sand. We have some decals being made it will be called "The General Lee". I think you can imagine what it will look like.

Okay, I talked to a guy at Boise Truck Equipment and was told all the double check valves in the system are installed for the vehicle to be towed (front glad hands) We bypassed all the valves and went straight to the stop light switch.

So now the truck is ready to drive. We pulled it out of the shop and I took a few pictures I will start a new thread showing our build.
