Make that check for loose and dirty fuses.

With a new truck it is a good idea to remove the fuses, clean the fusebox with electrical contact cleaner and replace the fuses with new quality fuses. Check for looseness when doing this.

Disconnect your batteries before doing this.

And check/clean the ground wire just above the parking brake pedal.

There are also a few mods which have been basically deemed as necessary, by the general population of SS. Do your research and learn everything you can about your truck. Download the TMs also - they are essential! Between those and this place, you will learn everything you ever want to know about your truck. I've owned my M1009 for a month now and I've learned an incredible amount of info in that short time. And I learn something new every day.

Warthog im allready ahead of you did fuse block after 1700 today thanks for telling me about the ground by the parking pedal.

Vhyle a week ago I downloaded the tms and made a backup disc with all of them on it.

[forest522]

Great rig sir! Welcome to the group...take your time and enjoy the ride! Love the pics by the way. Looks like you are in need of a replacement printed circuit. I am unsure if that can just be cleaned or not. Let us know how that turns out.

 

[Shackelford R]

Irepaired it using warthog thread http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?46054-CUCV-Instrument-Cluster-Decoded I used a pen I found at radio shack retraced the circuits after good cleaning wish I had pics of that. Very few things still need work like why dosn't my GEN 2 light come on ever? But I'll Figure it out.
