Before I spend the money for a harness I want test the glow plugs for resistance, this i dont understand how to do, i have a Dorman digital multitester I bought at Advance Auto cost about 39 bucks. Dont be too ******* me here, about the only thing I know about electricity is whats happenin at the end of that weld rod, I lookin for answers.
Do I need to take the plugs out to do this? Where do I put the test leads? There is 5 settings for ohms on this multitester...200, 2000, 20k, 200k, and 2000k...which one do I set it on. I dont know what they mean by resistance either.
Someone asked some questions what I did.
1 Yes i put antisieze on the threads, a diesel mechanic told me to, and dielectric grease on top of the plugs, that was my idea as a fix the other day.
2 No I didnt, I know nothing about ohms as I explained earlier in this post and asked questions about it
3 Yes I cleaned up all the connections
4 the controller and the relay were replaced together, they came out of the same box from Ford.
The continuity I checked the same way as when I checked, for voltage, lookin back now I shakin my head wonderin why I did that...if you got 12 volts and change you obviously got continuity...told you I wasnt an electrician.
2 or 3 years ago I made a harness for the glow plugs and it worked fine except for blowin up the controller every year, so I would just replace the controller and the relay all at the same time and that would fix it up.
As far as Classic Diesel Design goes, I know you folks like them. I had some dealings with them last year and it didnt go well at all. Nuff said about that I dont want to get into a ****** contest over it.
So I called Conestoga Diesel, they are in the middle of moving their busness to South Carolina.. The young lady I talked to told me they have them but they are in a storage facility and she will have to find them. It might take a week or 2 to get it, which is ok, I dont see winter happening for at least a month or so...Good Lord I hope so any way.
Thats just about evrything I can tell you about it. Thank you for your time and patience, I had some trouble with this computer and my daughter fixed it for me, thats what took so long to get back. I kept gettin booted offline for some reason. Sometimes I work a long 14 hour or so day and dont get on this thing. Any help you all can provide is appreciated.
Thank You
Popeye
