WTS light question
Hi everyone, been a while!
Got a quick question here,
In my '91 E250 Club Wagon, every now and then, the glow plugs don't work, acts like it's got a couple burnt out plugs. Dead cold engine, get in, turn key, WTS light comes on for 2 seconds, and goes out.
I haven't checked anything yet, cause i'm only home on weekends and don't have all the time I use to, but what can it be?
It can't really be a bad glow plug or 2 right? If it was a bad plug it wouldn't come back to life. It only does this every now and then, otherwise the light comes on for 10-12 seconds, and the van fires up by a turn of the starter!
Any ideas? Grounds? if so witch one?

Mine would do that. It would short cycle some and sometimes work perfect. Started getting progressively worse. When I dug into it I found a loose post on the GP controller. When I went to take the wire off to replace the controller this happened.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I seem to have fixed the problem.
I took off the controller from the engine, everything looked fine, connections and all, but I did a rusty nut under the relay, where it makes contact to the box, I cleaned it up, played with all the wires, been working great since.
