Thanks for the update. Let us know how you plan to wire the led on that switch. Lots of options. I'm interested in how bright it is at night. I'd like one that is easy to find but unobtrusive when not looking for it.
I may be wrong on this, but I don't think that these controllers have a habit of sticking on like the 6.9 style does.it occurred to me that maybe if the controller and/or solenoid were going bad... Maybe they ruined the brand new GPs? (Was leaving them on, or something?)
The silicone tube is supposed to be tight to hold the connector tight on the glowplug. Silicone is very flexible so it will stretch to fit. I would imagine the best lube that would evaporate would be spit but there might be something betterOk, I have the wire. I have the bullet connectors. I have the shrink tube. (Tons of extra). I have the silicone tubing. I have the cool looking button that lights up only when you push it and it is actually working. I even have the 600 amp solenoid. (And I have 8 beru GPs ordered and on the way, just in case.)
I will start on building my own harness soon.
A quick question though... That silicone tube seems awfully small for this purpose. I may find that it fits well. I don't know. Question is, what can I use as a lube to help get it on there... That will eventually go away on it's own? Don't want to use silicone grease...
Busted off an old headlight bulb, and soldered wires to it, to make a 'socket' that then plugged into one of the old headlight plugs. So that I wouldn't have to cut any of the old wiring.
I may re-do the whole thing because I am sometimes OCD like that. Not happy with what I see as bottlenecks to the juice getting through.
