How do, I have a 1986 F250 XL with a 6.9 IDI and I changed the flasher, oil/filter, fuel filter and air filter today. Unfortunately, I think I screwed myself because I left the ignition key on after checking the flashers.
Once I finished the maintenance service, I tried to start the beast and the glow plug light didn't go on and the truck wouldn't start. The truck came with a remote start.
I must have left the key in the on position for a couple hours. I didn't think it would matter as it's in the on position driving.
Anyways, I checked the relay, and putting 12v to the purple controller lead turns on the glow plug light, but doesn't seem to heat the plugs as the truck still won't start.
So, bad plugs or bad controller or both?
FYI, a little less than 53k original miles, so it likely has the original motorcraft glow plugs.
I did look for loose wires, wiggled the plugs and let is sit a while before checking a few times.
Any advice?
