I'm not trying to speak sacrilege here, and I don't want to precipitate a war of words. ![Shocked :shock: :shock:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
How might I build a manual control box? My 24Volt Landcruiser just uses a glow wire to show glow plugs are ready, and then she just starts right up with the twist of a key.
Civilian 6.2 Diesel engines don't seem to have a PCB. My slantback is now a personal use vehicle. It is awesome right now but in the future I want to personalize it.
So what needs to be done to bypass and create a working manual "box"? (1987 6.2 with TH400)
(I'm aware of things like overheating and blowing out the glow plugs.)
Best,

EDIT - post 51 shows schematics as I originally listed them, BUT i decided to post them here on Post #1 to make life easier for the St.So. Family. Happy Independence Day 2022!!!
