INTRODUCTION TO WHEELED VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
The electrical systems of military wheeled vehicles are well designed and constructed. With few
exceptions, they are much like the systems used on civilian-type vehicles. The biggest difference is
that 24-volt systems are used on military vehicles and 6- or 12-volt systems on civilian types. Also,
the electrical systems on most military vehicles are waterproof.
Although these systems are well made, they still give some trouble, and they are systems that most
wheeled vehicle repairers understand the least.
One of your jobs is the maintenance of these systems. While this is not difficult, it does take some
"know-how."
This subcourse will familiarize you with these systems and will provide you with the "know-how"
you need.
