Hi guys, got myself in a bit of a pickle here.
The truck is a 94 7.3 NON turbo with an E40D
My glowplug controller went bad on me the same time my alternator did (when it rains it pours I suppose
)
Anyways I installed the new alternator and glow plug relay today, hooked my batteries back up, then when I went to cycle the plugs....**** hit the fan
1.The WTS light was blinking at warpspeed....not like when your plugs are hot and you get that slow "click-clunk" sound as they cycle on and off - this was just insanely fast like a machine gun. I am familiar with the difference between what one would consider a normal flash on flash off and something isn't right.
2. All glow plugs were changed with BERU's 2 days before alternator went
3. The glowplug harness is in great shape and there are no breaks in any of the wires
4. I am 99.9% sure the connections are correct, but every time I google a diagram for the controller connections all I come across are "bypass" diagrams and I am not interested in installing any sort of push button.
Any thoughts or ideas? I essentially would like to know why its is blinking to fast, and hopefully someone can point me to a diagram that shows the correct hookups for the glow plug control.
