Glowplug Solenoid HELP!!
I have a 96 F350. It started just fine, came back put to it and was not running. WTS light was not coming on so went to GPS and jumped it. Started right up. Will be replacing the GPS when it comes on at the store. Is there anything else I should be checking for. New to the SDs thanks for your help.

Well, the glow plugs are designed to help with cold starts, so its no mystery why jumping the solenoid helped it fire back up. It's not the root of the problem though... what caused it to die. Once the engine is running the glow plugs aren't doing it any favors. If it was running and quit, you shouldn't be worrying about the glow plugs. Was it running at a consistent idle, or did it just start up and run kind of rough before it quit?

I just started it and went back on the house to let it warm up at idle. I just checked fuse 22 and its fried will be fixing in the A.M.

Unplug the fuel bowl heater or it will pop the fuse again most likely.

The fuel bowl heater corrodes and shorts out. It's tied to the same circuit as the PCM so when it shorts out, it pops the fuse for that circuit cutting power to the PCM.

Unless you are in the arctic , you won't need it .. If you want a new one they are kind of spendy .. some have replaced theirs with the 99 up version .. about 30 .00
