Glow plug relay question
Hey guys! So I'm trying to get my ol truck running. It's a 1995 F250 4x4. The question that I have is with the glow plug relay (I think). I turn the key forward but no "wait to start" light. The glow plugs and the relay are both new. I used my multimeter to verify that I was getting between 12-14 volts on both of the large poles of the relay.
Here are some details:
1. The batteries are no equal size. One is the correct size and one is smaller.
2. It's very hard to start but I haven't waited very long after I turn the switch forward to start it. This just occurred to me as I type this. I'll try waiting longer tomorrow before attempting to start it. Any idea how long a glow plug cycle lasts?
