Glow Plug Problem

I Left The Ignition In The On Positon All Night. This Morning It Would Not Start And The Wts Light Would Come On And Then Dim Right Out. There Also Is A Steady Clicking Coming From Under The Fuse Box Under The Hood When You Turn The Key To The On Position. I Replaced The Gpr And Still Nothing Across The Gpr. Any Ideals?

My guess is the batteries are dead. Did you try charging them? The relay should be on no longer than 2 mins, so that probably is not the issue.

I am gonna agree and the reason the WTS light comes on and dims is the glow plugs take quite a bit of power, and if your batteries are drained it would drop them even farther real fast causing whatever power is there for turning on the light to drop way down, just charge the batteries, and you should be good to go.
