Howdy, so this issue actually occurred a couple years ago and the truck didn’t get driven much once I got the motor pulled
So anyways this was the original light switch the truck came with but it looked like someone was in there before me.
I started smelling a burning electrical smell while driving with the lights on. Kept a happening and my dash lights went out.
I pulled the light switch apart and replaced it with a Napa unit. The plug on the truck side was black and burned looking..but I needed to get going and it worked when hooked it all up again.
I’ve only driven a dozen or so times since then and was just wondering what might have caused it and how common is that?
I do recall my dash lights going out again after the new plug was in and then they came back on randomly during the trip.
Thanks
-the truck is currently apart again..took apart the front axle and replacing seals and ujoints..we cracked the inner axle shafts while getting at the ujoints with the press..so they are on order
Reading the 94naidi posts about glow plugs is disappointing..glow plugs are now common issues now? Multiple in a year!
I’ve still considered selling the truck and just running the Cummins and using my money to put in a new septic!
