I had similar issues with my ambulance light. I found corrupted solder joints on the amphenol connector on the rooftop of the ambulance body. It is a size 18 connector and not hard to source.
Maybe check that out.

Re: Hubsteps
I've been politely asking Thilo to do a run of hubsteps for a few months now and he says he has a running list of others who want some too. Below was his response when I initially asked him about it back in March: " I am out of stock and have been difficulties encouraging my laser cutter person...

Re: Battery cut off switch
Forgive me reviving this post after it had a happy ending but I am kinda wondering how an accessory device would have caused this problem. Was it an accessory that was somehow an integral part of the Pinzgauer electrical system? Case in point, at the moment I have a dedicated 24V fuse block that is ...

Re: Fuel Tank Drain Plugs
So..................I'll try giving it a wallop with a socket flat..........and yeah....obviously the penetrating oil isn't doing anything. I like the freeze idea as well...........never thought of that. It can't hurt. Once again..............any idea of estimated labor time in dropping the tanks? C...

Fuel Tank Drain Plugs
Does any one have a special way they have discovered to remove the drain plugs from the fuel tank? I do not wish to drop the tanks at this time (712 dual tanks) as I like a running vehicle during hurricane season. I think I'd be in for a few days of down time if I dropped them. Unless I'm wrong? Est...

Re: volt meter install
Well............three weeks later........finally got around to hooking up that voltmeter..........tapped the hot lead off of the lead for the ISO 4165 socket on the dash. Nice thing about that spot is that as soon as you turn on the main battery switch the voltmeter goes active.

Re: Fire coming out of tail pipe
I've been having some backfire issues lately as well. I bring this up in reference to what boeing7873 mentioned as I too have some leakage where the exhaust header pipe mates up to the flexible union. I am kinda suspecting this may be contributing to my issue. I'm probably going to disassemble the S...

Re: volt meter install
I see that hour meter now...it's on the ignition control lamp switch version..........I have the black-out light switch version. Was looking at that particular schematic.

Re: Balancing on factory wheels
Okay..............on the subject of balancing..........(nice ride btw ChickenPinz.......looks very clean)........I like the factory wheels. I do not expect a shop to be able to balance them. I am going to go the route of balancing beads as others have. As ChickenPinz said and I mirror the statement,...

Re: volt meter install
Yeah...................there are a multitude of places to tap a hot lead for the gauge..........I was kinda hoping there would have been a note in the factory wiring schematic for it but nope. Hence my question to the forum. I am installing a multitude of other voltages on the vehicle and when I get...

volt meter install
Recently came across a nice vintage 60mm VDO volt meter. Looks a lot nicer than that plugged hole on the dash. Where would be a good place to tap power for this?
