As far a I know, it functioned well. The set of gp's died, so I checked the resistor after the fact and got 6ohms. I took out the resistor and moved the wire from it up to the block just above the relay. That is all I have done.

I haven't had much time to measure anything else yet. I can tell you that when trying to start the wait to start light stays on for a really long time, like 20 seconds before I give up and turn it over. It cranks for a bit but does not fire. When I stop cranking for about 30 sec and then try...

I just replaced a complete set of dead glowplugs and want to make sure it does not happen again. I have taken the resistor out of the system and wanted to make sure that everything else was working properly. The plugs get 1volt until I shut of the key. Is that a ghost measurement? Thank you for...

Hello All, I have bypassed the resistor in my truck and was checking voltage at the plugs. When the key is first turned, the plugs get 12v but after I hear the relay kick off I still saw 1v at the plug. Is this normal or is something else wrong"

Thanks guys, I'll check the resistance before I replace the plugs.

Thanks, I understand the cascade of failing glow plugs, I now have 8 dead ones. When I tested voltage going to one of gp's I got 25 volts. To properly bypass the resistor should I go straight to the front battery or just do the "temporary bypass" and call it good?

Hello all, Is there a way to test the 12v resistor for the glow plugs with out replacing the glow plugs first? I have searched but couldn't come up with anything. Thanks
