Details

The HMMWV Glow Plug Controller & Protective Control Box - Matched Set (KDS Smart Start System) is a high-quality, factory new/unused product that is designed to replace the previous versions of glow plug controllers in HMMWV vehicles. Made in the USA, this set includes the protective control box CR-2700 and the glow plug temperature control CR-2696A.

One of the key features of this product is its compatibility with all HMMWV models, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicles without requiring any modifications for installation. Late model vehicles were originally equipped with this glow plug system, enhancing its reliability and performance.

The Smart Start system offers several significant improvements over earlier versions of the EESS control boxes. These improvements include the reduction/elimination of pulsating headlamps and voltmeter gauge, preventing operator confusion by avoiding flashing the wait-to-start lamp during default mode operation, and improving the system's immunity to glow plug re-activation from external faults or voltage spikes.

Additionally, the Smart Start system reduces current through the start switch and adds a start lockout after the engine is running, ensuring better control and efficiency. The product also features improved glow plug tip temperature control, enhanced ground fault tolerance, redesigned internal power relays for higher reliability, and overload protection for the wait-to-start and brake warning lamp circuits. Furthermore, it has a higher tolerance to EMI and an improved case sealing system.

Please note that it is crucial to follow certain instructions when installing the control box. It is highly recommended to disconnect the batteries before installation to prevent damage to the control box connectors. It is also advised to check the glow plugs before installing the new control box, as defective glow plugs may harm the control box.

Only the 60 amp alternators can power directly through the control box. For basic and A1 vehicles that have upgraded to 100, 200, and 400 amp alternators, it is necessary to have the alternator wiring harness modification in place. Vehicles factory equipped with higher amp alternators have the battery direct wiring factory installed.

Please be aware that Midwest Military Equipment, the supplier of this product, does not accept returns on this item. Therefore, it is important to ensure proper installation and troubleshoot any issues by checking grounds, TSU connection, faulty wiring, and other potential causes.
