Glow plug Controller
I was checking on the glow plug controller and the power side is very hot and you can smell it getting hot.
13 vdc with key off, 12 vdc with key on.
Key on is when it gets hot, the opposite side only gets about 7 vdc.
What causes this?
Bad Controller?

Actually I soldered some wires to a 20 amp circuit breaker. Now if that fuse blows I am not gonna blow more, just plug in circuit breaker until the cause is found. That fuse will never strand me again. I also carry 1 extra of every size and amps.
