Yellow Nartron PCB rebuild and glow plug control questions

[TOBASH]

Bought a PCB box on Fleabay to make a simple Integrated Circuit delete unit.

Opened the box up and found no evidence of burnout or water damage... Looks pristine. If it is a good unit, I would hate to destroy it.

Is there any way I can test it besides mounting it to my HMMWV?

What glow plug controller does it require?

Thanks.

P.S. - which are the best and which are considered the worst PCB units? I tried searching but too much chaff came through, making the grain less obvious.

Still wondering how to test this unit without installing in my rig.

As mentioned, looks perfect internally.

I have never seen a electrical part that could be verified good by simply looking at it.

If you want to know if it works,just install it. Takes less than 30 minutes.

Capacitors and some diodes are obvious others, not so much. I used to repair motherboards and could point that sh1t out at a glance.

The MOSFETs in the later units tend to go without visible evidence but they're a simple replacement and for the pennies they cost always go with heavier units. Pretty easy to check with a multimeter.
