My battery was toast, so I try to jump start it with car...failed. While repeatedly trying to start it, the glow plug countdown timer stopped working. Off to store I go, and install a new battery. All I get is a hard click (magnetic switch at starter?). Won't start. Off to store I go, and replace a mess of fuses. No joy. I then swap out new hella relays for glow plugs and starter, and voila, Bobby starts up. Problem is, the glow plug light nor countdown timer on control panel work. I know the glow plug 'light' works (not burnt out), because the panel lights up when you turn it on. Problem is, I have no idea if the glow plugs are working. I tried running around to engine when I turn key 'on', but I read no volts.
Somehow I screwed things up trying to start it with a dead battery (too many on-off cycles fried something). Can anybody give me an idea where I should be looking to fix it? Wondering if control panel needs replacing? Or part of it?
If one roasts the glow plugs, shouldn't the timer and light on control panel still work? BTW - I read 2-3ohms on glow plugs.
Maybe more relays need replacing....idk
