It's not like a real ***!
kennyd said:Yes, you can rewire the WTS light to work. But Why? You will have to cut wires out of the factory harness, and it will only light while you have the switch pushed. And I think you'll know that if your pushing the switch, you should "wait to start" anyway....Do you need a light to tell you this?
And the WTS light will be no indication that the GP's are actually glowing, as all of the plugs could be burnt out and the WTS light will still be lit. The only true indication of GP activity is a volt or amp gauge.
I would personally rather not cut up the factory harness if at all possible, but that is just me. YMMV.
Kennyd,
First of all THANK YOU! for all of your advise, It has made me very certain of what I need to do to hook this thing up to a switch.
Second, about the WTS light, I guess the reason I would like it hooked up is just as a warning that I am pressing the button. You are right about the gp's being burned out and the light will still come on, but I like to see the light come on to indicate that the button is working.
As far as cutting up the factory harness...........I have the old GP controller that I took out and it has the little plug I need for the WTS lamp on it. I will simply cut off the end and put a round crimp end on it so all i have to do is unplug it and not mess with the truck wiring. I am going to try and tackle this project this weekend. I will surely keep you posted about how the system works and if it solves all my hard starting problems
I am going to replace any bad glow plugs before at the same time I wire up the switch so the system should be in tip top to start with.
