It is under the dash on the left side of the steering column. About the size of a pack of Marlboro in a black plastic box. Report back.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thanks CUCVRUS. Will check.It is under the dash on the left side of the steering column. About the size of a pack of Marlboro in a black plastic box. Report back.
Your way is fine. In all actuality it is a full proof way to ensure the that the GP under test is actually functioning properly.OK quick question. So if I am removing the glow plugs and bench testing them with a battery charger/short wire to a battery. I am not going to get the same results and diagnosis as the ohm meter? I Just remove all 8 plugs and get a visual on them. I have had a few over the years that were getting hot back up the shaft and not the tip. I also had a few that were semi swelled and got warm but not hot. So honestly I never used my voltage/ohm meter to test them. I have great results. And I get to do a visual inspection and replace them as needed. Am I going about it all wrong? Besides the extra labor removing them. I can remove 8 glow plugs and check them in about 20 minutes my way. Unless the plug is swelled then it could be a few hours or a few minutes. Curious to know.
I test them while their in the block with a simple 1 wire test light clipped to the positive battery post. Touch the test light probe on the terminal end of the glow plug and if it lights your good to go. If it doesn't than its burned out and not making any heat.Positive to terminal, negative to the metal part that threads in to the block.
Next time I will use my slave cables. It still yields the same results. Stop creeping on my posts and belittling what I say. I should have said jumper wires. Of course I didn't expect to be graded and cross examined by the DOGHEAD. For my assistance D- = inappropriate use of terms jumper cables. I am sure he would get the same results either way. Let the circus begin.
I simply stated a safer(alternate) method, if you feel belittled or whatever, don't participate in the forums.
The advice I gave is also in the technical manual, iirc.
I thought Dogheads response was tactful.
He was simply responding to what you wrote and offered a different method.
He wasn't making it personal like your response to him was.
Do as you wish and have a great day.
Whatever. Getting back to the original issue. A leather man is great for jumping across the glow plug relay and the starter relay plug. May not be up to code but it works. So if it matters i will continue to post. I think I deserve that. I do try to help more often then NOT. take Care keep your powder dry and have a great Sunday.
