I used a 20amp switch. I haven't had any trouble so far.

Doghead mod http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/60960-doghead-starter-relay-modifcation.html Do a search on the resistor bypass. If your glowplug system is working properly, you don't need to do this. Mine was fried, so I did it.

Thank god that is normal. I've already used up all my gremlin spray. Now I'll have time to work on the cosmetic stuff.

With a whole lot of reading and a few questions I was able to get my M1009 up and running. Thank you to everyone who provided such great info. I have one last question. Is it normal for the turn signals to work when the vehicle is completely off?

I pulled the glowplug card and resister today. The card had two visible burn spots on it and the wire on the right side of the resister was partially burnt through. So I've removed and bypassed the resistor. I cut the undamaged wire on the left and am using that to power the GPR from the 12v...

I was referring to the setup I've seen in several posts such as this one. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/cucv/67351-glow-plug-relay-2.html#post809412

When you bypass the resistor, is there any difference in running the wire directly from the battery or the 12v junction next to the GPR? Is one better/safer than the other or is it just a matter of preference?

Thanks! I was thinking along the same lines. I have some 18 gauge PTFE wire with a high temp rating but wasn't sure if I should use it. I'm having a hard time finding fusible link wire. Something had to fry those wires. I'm guessing the resister is bad and the card most likely won't be in good...

Thanks for the quick response. I've looked through the tech manuals. This is going to be a steep learning curve for me.

I have a M1009 with two wires burned through near the glow plugs. I figure if I'm going to rewire two then I might as well reqire them all. I'm a bit confused about the fusible link wires. Are the .8 GRN wires the fusible links that are soldered to the .8 ORN wires? From what I've read fusible...

What should be the amp rating of the manual switch?
