It's also the least likely to be needed for essential vehicle operations, only accessories plugged in by the occupants.

Ford has been putting the OBDII port on the cigar lighter fuse for going on 20 years, at least for many, if not all of their trucks.

Well I replaced the fuse (by the way for a 2000 it is fuse 3). The fault code I looked up online says I have an open in glow plug #6. Anyone know where to get good glow plugs cheap? Thanks for all the help looking for your opinions on which glowplugs are the best
Thanks a lot.

Congrats! For glow plugs, check out RiffRaff or go to the dealer. Those things are pretty cheap.

Cool I get to order my first item from riffraff and I don't have to try to justify it to the gf........lol.
Wow I just looked up what I have to do to get to the glow plugs. I might just do all the glow plugs valve cover gaskets and maybe the glow plug harness just to be on the safe side. Better check the bank account......lol might have to wait until next week.....ugh
