P0403 & P0405 = Plug your EGR valve back in

P0046 = Check the wiring to the VGT solenoid on the turbo for chaffing or see if it's loose or disconnected.

P0683 = Make sure the glow plug control module connectors are fully seated and not loose and possibly burnt.

It still needs to be plugged in for the clutch fan to operate properly.

from what I can tell nothing looks burnt and all the connectors are seated perfectly no wires rubbing or chaffing. as for the egr valve ill have to find one used since I have it blocked off I guess I can just plug it in and leave it resting on the motor?? because as I said I did the egr delete with block off
