Now what happened?
I installed the new Motorcraft glowplugs and for the 2 starts it worked perfectly with the wts light but today (third time starting) wts light instantly goes out and I hear clickclick, clickclick.,etc. but then I look at the volt gauge and from what I see no amps are being drawn from the batteries when their clicking, then I have to turn it over for a good 15secs. Not only that but yesterday I was driving to discover that the brake light comes on when I come to a stop the brake pedal has always been a little spongy, I took the truck to a brake shop they worked on it, replaced master cylinder and still the spongy brakes are there. They could not find a solution 
Anyone have a solution to either of the problems

The click click click is the controller, idk how there is no power draw on the battaries when the controller is clicking, i am pretty sure it uses power
from the battaries to run. You may have a bad controller or relay, i would test the glow plugs to see if any of them were lemons for the heck of it .

I'll take a look at it when it cools down, normally I have our company mechanic work on it in the drive way, I'm not going to that brake shop again lol.
