glow plug controller housing

[kcbbqguru]

My 1009 keeps blowing the engine control fuse. I found some exposed wires on the glow plug controller housing. does anyone know where I can get a replacement? thanks

FLMV used to have complete GP control harness'.

If they are out, that was the last place I know that had them.

Used will be your only other option.

Those are usually not too hard to fish out the loose individual ends and recrimp onto the individual wires. Similiar to wires going into a relay connector. Might be easier to try that first.

I agree with wheelspinner. Fixing what you have shouldn't be difficult. If you go that route, make sure you clean the wire. No sense crimping corroded copper.

As a stopgap, you could try coating them with liquid electrical tape. Just don't gum up the connector so it's difficult to repair properly later.

could the glow plug controller be bad, and need replaced?

I would definately make sure all contacts are corrosion free and CLEAN.If you find yourself with a bad harness I have a couple available.

It's just very strange that it worked fine for 2 weeks, then started blowing control fuse?? did I get a bad harness? pm me the details on your harnesses? thanks

The fuse #17 Engine control has the following items on Circuit #39:

seatbelt buzzer - diagram E-4
dash temp lamp - diagram E-4
low coolant lamp- diagram E-4
brake lamp - diagram E-4
ignition power for fuel gauge - diagram E-4
water fuel solenoid - diagam E-3
cold advance temp sw - diagram E-3

and supplies power to the GP controler and the GP relay when the key is on. - diagram E-7

You will have to check each item to find the short.

Where do I find the diagrams?

Where do I find the diagrams?

In the back of the -20 or -34 TMs.

Today, I started by just checking of couple of easy things. I unplugged the GP control harness, and put in a new fuse and now everything works, except of course the glow plugs. The glow plug harness has been replaced, could it be the glow plug relay on the fire wall, causing the it to blow the fuse?

 

[MarcusOReallyus]

Yes, it could be. It could be other things, too.

Testing is needed.
