oh man soo i decided to finally try and test and buy a new sylidnoid for the glow plugs i tear the old one off put the new one on and i get nothing the wait to start light stays on 8 seconds gos off and my truck still doesnt start and i dont hear the hummin noise or the amps does not go down soo i tear it off put the old one back on and i dont get NOTHING no wts light or hummin or even the relay which i was hearing b4 i touched it soo i played wiht the wires and everything and now i still have nothing wait to start light still doenst come on .. im freakin out here what did i do .... and the cold advance doenst even come on now unless you cross the sylinoid to it HELP!! a diagram of the wires or somthing i dont know....

 

Power to the battery terminal at all times, direct connection to the battery.
Ignition terminal has power when the key is turned to the ON position.
The ground wire must have a good electrical ground.

Shorting the white wire terminal to ground should cause the relay to close.

 

did you replace the glow plug solenoid or the start solenoid ???

 

NOW my cold idle and my advance dont even kick on unless you cross it wiht the positive wire and my wts light still odnt come on and i tryed jumpin the glow plugs and NOW i cant even get my truck to start oh man did i burn up the glow plug controller now.......

 

Do you have power at the correct terminals on the glow plug relay as I posted in the previous post?

Is that the one you replaced?
Did you get all the small wires from the relay to the controller in the right place?


Restating the problem 50 times with no feedback on questions asked will not fix your truck, I am several hundered miles away trying to work through your problem on a truck I have never seen and most probably never will see.

Do you have power at the rear drivers side terminal on the IP when the key is in the ON position?

If the relay you replaced was on the inner fender, that is the starter relay.
Most trucks use that as a power distribution point.
A wire on the wrong side of the relay will not put power to all the places it is supposed to go.

I can post this picture of the switch that turns the cold advance and fast idle on, but since I have no idea if you have power to the FSS (rear terminal drivers side) on the IP there is no way of knowing if it is even getting power to the switch.



Do you get any smoke, probably white while cranking the engine?

We are going several different directions now, working through one problem at a time is usually easier.

 

well i went and bought a new control moduylar and had the same problem with the wts light to come on for 1 second and goes right to the relay but the cold advance works soo i took that back put the old one back on and then i had NOTHING now the relay dont even work no buzzin or ne thing everything is hooked up right.... um the cold idle and the advance works tho just no glow plugs or the rellay unless i jump the small terminal (white wire) to the positve wire then you hear the buzznoise soo now i just hooked 12 volts to a push button and ran it to the white wire.. to activate the sylnoid but it only works if the key is off if you turn the key on the you cant jump the glow plug cylinoid to work im very confused but i at leat get it to start now how long should i hold the button to relsease and start it i do 6 seconds how long should i

 

I have no suggestions for you.

 

are you dealing with the same relay as daves picture.

 

He has stated the same problems several times.
Never answered one question I asked.


I don't think he wants help.

 

im sorry im not answering the questions becuause im soo confused on whats going on with this glow plug thing i get whitee smoke wile cranking the adanve kicks on when y9ou turn the key on everything works right jsut no glow plug relay or buzzing noise i dont know what else to check but like i said b4 if i just get a pair of jumper cables jump the cylinoid and hook it right to the glow plugs the truck starts right up soo but now i got a new problem with it not starting and no fuel gettin to the injecters and last night it drove fine and today i started it ran fine for bout 20 min and then just died
