So I’ve tested and replaced glow plugs and relay. They still don’t work and WTS light doesn’t come on. Is there a fuse for them? I tried searching for one but couldn’t find one. Thank yall
I have read the 6.9 controller also had a nasty habit of getting old, failing, and thus not turning off the glow plugs and burning them all up at times.i don't remember the 6.9 gp controller being that reliable that's why i bypassed it

What system do you have? We're here to help, but we need some basic information. On the original post, you said "relay"on the previous post you said "controller". On the older 6.9 trucks there's a solinoid/relay thingy on the fender and a controller like Cubey posted pictures of, if either one of those items are bad then you won't have WTS light. As far as the late 87 to 94 system, Big Bart's write up is the difinitive statement on that and I'm considering having my congressman codify it into my state's constitution.Well I’ve replaced the whole controller and plugs and replaces the end pieces on the harness that connect to the plugs themselves. I’ve also tested the voltage and that jazz. I don’t wanna have to take it to a mechanic, but it may just be more simple at this point. It’s hard to start to sometimes, I think I may turn up the fuel pump 2 flats from stock and this winter replace injectors and etc.
Because I run almost straight WMO, I quit using my glow plugs more than a year ago because my GP system had quit working and instead of diagnosing it I just started using ether to crank it. But a while back, I was looking at something and noticed that my GP controller(red background of Cubeys pictures) had been on fire and was just a hollow shell. I'm not sure when that happened or why, but it'll sure make you glad most everything under our hood is steel and can't really catch on fire.I have read the 6.9 controller also had a nasty habit of getting old, failing, and thus not turning off the glow plugs and burning them all up at times.
