Did a drain and fill on the antifreeze today. Is there any special burping procedure I need to know about? I searched and found nothing. Seems straightforward....
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Its all wheel drive. If the front driveshaft is removed all the torque will escape there. And the truck will not move. You can lock the center differential by entering mode and you can drive this way, but you are limited to 5th gear…As we progress along, I have a question:
1) Can I drive the truck with the front driveshaft removed? Like normal on the road driving?
Perfect. Good to know...Its all wheel drive. If the front driveshaft is removed all the torque will escape there. And the truck will not move. You can lock the center differential by entering mode and you can drive this way, but you are limited to 5th gear…
Sounds like you're on the right track. Spray it down with soapy water while you make it hiss?So when I push the brake pedal halfway down while stopping, it hisses lots of air from under the dash/pedal area. If I brake hard and push it 3/4 of the way down the hiss goes away. Rebuild the brake valve??
Or something further up the circuit is telling K30 to energize… the lighting circuit is a real fun one, enjoySo my left rear turn signal isn't working. On a visual inspection I find an unplugged wire! Thinking it can't be that simple, I plug it in, and the light comes steady bright. note the turn signal isn't activated yet. This explains why the PO disconnected it I'm assuming. I printed out the schematic and trace the LH turn and stop (LH461) to K30. Could K30 be stuck closed? I'll be checking that soon. too cold to go out.... Just learning to read the schematics....
Well sort of Anyplace you see TB2, thats ground. Pin 85 on these relays is always connected to ground. Pin 86 will always have the + voltage applied. When voltage and ground are pplied, the coil pulls in and connects pin 30 to 87. When you de-energize the coil it shifts the connection so 30 connects to 87A.OK Here is the left taillight relay.

So if 85 and 86 complete the circuit, the electromagnet energizes and closes 87 sending power through it? So 3047 or 461B could be energizing it, right? I can't tell if there is a left blinker relay energizing this relay. The right turn signal works fine. E3 appears to be a 2 way switch? Gonna keep at it....
wow, great info. You are a good teacher! So, let's reassess:Well sort of Anyplace you see TB2, thats ground. Pin 85 on these relays is always connected to ground.

E3 is a junction point. So those 4 wires are potential inputs. One is probably an input from the brake circuit, one is probably an input from an inter-vehicular cable port on the front bumper, one is probably the left turn signal input, and one may be an output to the rear towing/intervehicular port… you have to trace them out on the drawings to see what they are for.
Yep, you can use 5 pins everywhere, that way you only need two types(12 and 24v coils). A 4 pin where a 5pin should be will indeed cause some issuesSo the light issue was the relay. Replaced it and all good. Something interesting is I seem to have some 5 pin relays in a 4 pin socket..... So using a 5 in a 4 is ok but not a 4 in a 5?? I also started the changeover from breakers to spade fuses...
