GLOW PLUGS NOT WORKING

F-350, 2003, 6.0 diesel. Just rebuilt top end (head gasket, ARP studs, upgraded EGR). Glow plugs not working. Dash glowplug light comes on cold and almost immediately goes out. Checked all plugs and they seem to be connected O.K. ???????

Check the engine battery cable ground points. Remove and clean then
to start with.
After that come over here and ask you questions and you will get a bunch of help

GLOW PLUGS NOT WORKING, 03 6.0 DIESEL

Thanks. We're pretty sure all of the grounds are ok, especially since the FICM, which is very voltage-sensitive, seems to running the engine just fine. Most of the grounds were cleaned and anti-corrosion applied before we put the cab back on.
