ill start this off by saying engine is running great and this forum is awesome, I could not have done that build without the knowledge here. Also the parts and freeze plug tool you guys helped me out with, thanks everyone!
ok I live in south fl and I was not happy with how long my glow plugs were coming on for. had the bright idea to break ground, via switch on dash to turn off glow plug controller . long story short I used the switch a few times with great success, then it was spotty, and now no gpc function. Removed that switch entirely after having the issue (lug back at intake stud. good ground). have no WTS light.
key off - 12.2v @ main term from battery(@Glow plug relay)
key on - 11.6v @ term with small red wires(@Glow plug relay)
key on - 11.6v @ term with white wire (@Glow plug relay)
rung out harness/plugs-ok
all glow plugs are new motorcraft zd9 beru. was working before messing with it. any other tests I can do?
edit: also for 7.3 do you guys prefer momentary push button or to have a good working controller?
thanks
