Hi all,

went to start my M1009 this morning.
ok manual glowed plugs truck turned over but never started tried again and
then there was smoke. lifted hood both batteries were melting and the wires
were on fire.

ok what happened anyone else ever had this happen? to me seems like
something stuck with shorting the 24 volt?
any ideas on what to look for or replace first??

any help here would be great.
