    6.9 diesel won't start, 1984 F-250

    Yes, it makes sense. if no fire in the wires going to the glow plugs means the glow plugs don't get hot and no start. I checked the bypass wire which I installed and with the ignition key on and the bypass switch on, I have fire going to the Relay. Which post on the relay exits to the glow...

    6.9 diesel won't start, 1984 F-250

    It was starting immediately everytime. Then one day when I tried to start it, the glow plug relay would click but the truck would not start. Then the water pump started leaking so I took it to a mechanic in town to replace the waterpump and I also told the mechanic that the relay was clicking...

    glow plug relay clicks continuously while the key is on but the engine won't start. before this issue of not starting, I would turn on my key, wait about 4 seconds and then start right up. Now, I turn on the key, the glow plug relay clicks multiple times but won't start. I replaced the glow...
