Default 93 7.3 idi cranks, no wait for start light, no start

Greetings all, new to forum, glad to find it.
Have searched for related info to my issue, did
Not see it, so gotta ask for some help.

My 93 f-250 will not start cold, and I notice wait
to start light not coming on....put a whiff of starter
fluid on k&n, she's fires up smokin and we're good to go
......I know not to do this often, it hurts the pistons
but works for trouble shooting...aka, fuel flow is good,
all other functions known good.....so manual refers to ETR
relay that puts power to glow plugs.....pretty sure
It's the monster behind fuel filter, just not clear
on test points and replacement, figure I'll throw this
out here and see if anyone else has had the pleasure
and can maybe share a little about what not to do...

Love this truck....long bed 4x4 dual tanks factory banks....
serious heavy metal Detroit work horse....put some
wheels and kenda klevers on, and it claws it's way outta anything I put it through......wanna go bio with it eventually.

Thx for any replies......"smoke'm if u got'm"
Deisal rules!

Gary

Thx for the feedback 4x4manobroke, makes perfect sense and puts me right where i need to be. Dug up diagram, sure enough, that fuseable link clearly referenced; if it goes, nothing glows....hopefully I will not even need the relay I might have wasted $$ on figuring this out w/o some help.

will post once i git'r done, thx again for the expert advice.

You will Know where the Fusable link is ... look @ passenger side next to the remote starter solenoid...

There will be to larger guaged wires, those are you cab supply wires that give most/al of the cab power ...
