NO START, NO CRANKING CONDITION- seeking diagnostic advice!
This is my dream diesel, so I'm taking my time. I haven't even driven it yet! ha. Got a bit more work before I can drive it, but was able to start the engine today just to see that I wired up properly.
That was fine. Glow plugs lit for about 20 seconds, and she fired up in less than a single rotation. (I replaced the Return Lines, and bled it, this is the first start, thought it would take a little fussing, but got lucky.) I have started this thing 6 times since I've owned it (still not driving quite yet, still finishing up the details.)
And it has performed perfectly. I've had it run as long as 10 minutes, I notice the GPs continue to cycle as it warms up, sounds pretty good overall.

This is hilarious. I pull out of the bay, take my video to impress you guys, shut her off for a second, go to start back up, aaaand... NOTHING.
Here is what I get:
In Park, put key in, door chime, turn key, dash lights on (brake/GP/WiF/CE and clock,) GP solenoid cycles, turn key for start, lights turn off, NOTHING
I'm laughing at this. But I was also seeking any advice since it's my first diesel. With a gasser I'd "arc the starter" to bypass but not sure with the diesel since I might make the Glow Plug circuit angry or something worse...
Oh, my IGN SW feels a little "mushy" but always has, it does return on its' own when I crank to start. Any other info needed?
"Which way did he go George, which way did he go?"
I have to go try and push this beast back inside... Back in a bit.
Best regards,
George
