    Manual Override of Glow Plug Controller

    I don’t know jack about these PCB (learning fast) but the kds (s3) has a port in the front, what is that used for? I also noticed that they sell new glow plug weirs that are separate from the main harness on eBay. My glow plug wires are integrated into my harness. This KDs s3 box should slap...

    Manual Override of Glow Plug Controller

    Yeah I agree. I’m looking at one on epay but man, they dont give those puppies away. I dont know if I should mortgage My home or sell my leg for that PCB. Of course I’m kidding but nearly $700 for a part? Well that’s just insane in my Opinion.

    Manual Override of Glow Plug Controller

    Now that’s very Intresting to say the least, but I’m sure that trick isn’t good for the engine? Nevertheless it will come in handy when in a pinch. It reminds me of popping the clutch on a manual transmission when the starter has failed. Some times Tip & Tricks are a God sent.

    Manual Override of Glow Plug Controller

    No I get it. It looks like it is going to need a PCB. I just wanted to do the bypass to make DARN sure it’s the PCB. I’m also new to diesel but its really not much different than gasoline. Both are ICE. Moreover, I know if all for laws (fuel, fire compression and exhaust) are not present the...

So in short, the whole grenade goes up and down. I just thought it was the easier way to get the job done. I really want...

    HUMVEE completely dead! Bad PCB or ????

    Yeah i lost power to the start switch which is in line with 11a. It appears that 11a runs into the body cannon plug right where the scorched mark is. I don't think there was very much smoke? As for the brake lights, they are fixed. It was just a bad connection. So for a quick recap. The Rig is...
