Killed it now wont start.

I have a 94 f350 turbo diesel. While delivering a couch to my daughter I killed the engine climbing the curb. When I went to restart the maxi fuse to the glow plug controller blew. I replaced the glow plug controller and the glow plugs, it had 180,000 miles on the originals.

Now when I turn try to start the truck the glow plugs only come on for about a second. Im sure that somewhere along the way I messed up the wiring to the controller.

Can anyone point me to a wiring diagram or have instructions on which of the small wires go where on the controller? Other wise maybe give me some ideas on other things to check if I didn't mess that up? Is there a good way to bypass the controller and use a manual switch, I know it can be done, just not sure what would work best.

Just for clarification is this a 7.3 IDI Turbo or 7.3 Powerstroke?

It is the IDI I think, no where on the truck does it say powerstroke, just turbo diesel.
