I have been reading a bunch of threads but can't find an answer to my question so here we go.
I have the glow plug controller wired up like it shows in the tec articles. Truck has been starting great for almost a year now run plugs 12 seconds then crank for 3-10 seconds it will start. Until 3 days ago run plugs crank no start run plugs crank no start. Had to use starting fluid it get it to start.
I think I have a bad controller but just want to make sure I am checking it right. I have 12.8 volts at the big red wire on the solenoid. The 2 brown wires connected together on the controller part they attaches to the metals s curve thing shows 11.8 volts with button not pushed and 12.2 with the button pushed is that right? I also pulled one wire off of one glow plug and I had 11.8 volts at the wire. So is my controller junk and stuck on or am I looking at this wrong? I got a new set of beru plugs but don't want to put them on until I get this figured out.
Thanks John
