THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Happy new year!

I'm still looking for a used top for a 710M. Any condition will do. Would like the front and back. But the Back is more important.
Thanks for any leads.

And I normally DO meet the required standards.

Curious if you ever got it to pass emissions. And what the issue was that fixed it?

Check the stator Widing. Also check the rotor measurement.

A few pointers I have for removing the alternator and repairing it. In my case some of the power diodes went out so I had to replace them. But I also replaced the brushes and checked all the measurements to the manual.

If the stator winding or rotor is wrong measurement then you can order a new ...

I was able to use a battery powered impact wrench and reverse the nut right off. So the fan tool wasn't needed.

Thanks Ron. I'll dig into this further and report back. Thanks for the help so far.

Ok. Found this in the manual. Looks like you are referring to #1 in this diagram.

SAV sells the rear housing with the diodes pressed in? https://swissarmyvehicles.com/pinzgauer/09-20-12/7121095460/housing-rear-with-diodes-1-125-884-208

Sorry. Looks like that voltmeter went bad which sucks cause it was a nice one. Anyways checked with another voltmeter.

With engine off/key off.
D+ is 24.5v
Red wire is 25.5v
Power at battery is 25.8v

So D+ is getting power which is not good.

If I pull out the ground disconnect key then D+ and ...

of what's going on here -- it should read 0.0 volts.

WIth the engine off and ignition switch off D+ is reading 41 volts.

By the way. I'm looking for a way to test the relay (under the drivers seat area). I found some old threads that had a link to how to test it but the link is dead. Looks like if I just disconnect the ground leads to the relay this should disable it.

And another update I did find that my manual ...

When you turn off the Battery switch does the Switch bypass relay stay ON (#53 in the schematic)
or does the dimly lit Alternator light turn off?


Thanks for the quick reply rmel. I haven't had time to check this until now. This may be the issue of the ground relay not working. I do hear a ...

So last week I fixed the common issue with the alternator plug being rusted out. (It was the red wire that needed fixed)

After I fixed that I noticed that the charging indicator light is now dimly lit when the ignition is turned off. And it’s a slow battery drain. But the charging system does work ...

Hello.
I'm still looking for a top for my Pinz 710M. Open to any condition.

Thanks.

More than once I've installed a ground kill-switch on the contactor/solenoid ground wire which makes sure they wont get activated until you are ready to use it, especially useful when installing a wireless system.


Exactly! This is one of the reasons I want to have a cutoff switch or breaker ...

From reading the forums here it sounds like Warn doesn't recommend using a breaker when hooking the winch to the battery.

I'm wondering what peoples real world experience is with this topic. Has someone tried using a breaker and found that it keeps popping when in heavy use? Was thinking about ...
