I went to start my truck this morning and it wouldn't start. I had it plugged in all night, so i threw a charger to the battery. I set it to 200 amp quick start, got in truck and started it. I went in the house came back out found truck had stopped running. Went to restart the truck and found that I had no wait to start light. I checked the fuses in the power distribution box under the hood, found that i had blown a 30 amp glow plug controller fuse. I replaced the fuse and turned the igniton on. The fuse blew instantly. I think I cooked wires, if so where should I start looking? Or maybe some suggestions on this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

 

it might be your glow plug sylenoid on top of the motor right behind and to the passenger side of the fuel filter bowl it will look just like a reg battery sylenoid right there its not hard to see.

 

is that circuit tied into anything else? i know the fuel bowl heater circuit shares fuse with the idm. found that out the hard way when my fuel bowl heater shorted out

 

ok thanks I will check that!

 

the fuel bowl heater is the number 30 fuse in the cab not under the hood

 

yep just had that on thursday night, just unplug it and replace the fuse

 

a new fuel heater is 150 plus taxes u can prob get on at the junk yard for round 20 bucks my cousins 99 350 did that two weeks ago and we got one from a junk yard and it works just fine

 

glow plug relay is probably more than shot, you havn't replaced it yet have you?

 

Updates??

 

Please update.
