Hello
Today in an effort to decrease the amount of smoke I have on startup, I tried swapping out my glow plug relay with a spare that came with my truck to see if mine was bad. When I turned on the keys a big **** of smoke immediately came out of the front of the passenger side of the hood, clearly electrical smell. For context it was drizzling outside while doing this.
I found these two wires burnt out afterwards, what did I mess up?? I taped over the exposed wire for safety.
One wire is burnt as heck, but in tact, the other burnt completely through and is not connected. The wires come out of the loomed harness.
Here’s the relay I put in
Truck works fine, glow plugs seem to be working well, all lights, horn, gauges etc work as well. Nothing out of sorts.
Should I splice in good wire where it burnt out, and go back to my original / a new FoMoCo relay?
thanks
