hey guys got a question, I took off my vacuum pump made my tm and modified my intake, but now I have no glow plugs, there is no light on the dash and it wont start, what in the world did i mess up? What controls the glow plugs. HELP

 

By chance, did you unplug a connection from the back of the engine??

 

check plug on the relay and all the other plug going along back of the motor

check for power on main stud it should be live all time

 

I broke off one of the studs on the control some how, just my freakn luck. So now if I can't fix that can I still hook it up but put a toggle between them and just do it flip it on when I want to start it or should i just spend the money and replace it

 

replace it i can gave you mod for glow plugs if you want

 

Know any place these things are less than $70, what do you mean mods? Thanks for all your help

 

Can run the glow pugs off a momentary toggle switch. But be sure to still use the relay.

 

so just put a toggle between the two studs on it?

 

Negative. Go to an auto parts store and ask for a F492 relay. Then run the power wire, GP wire, and toggle (momentary would be better) switch. IIRC, you'd be out $12 for that relay. They have the same thing, but for early 6.9/7.3s and name them "glow plug controller" then charge $79 for them.

 

I looked up that relay online, so i one stud hook up the red positive wire, on the other side hook up the black wires, which i assume go to the glow plugs, what about the other wires that hook into the top of the existing control and do I hook my switch to the other two smaller ones on the relay you mentioned? Sorry just don't want to mess anything else up
