N3135 bought from reputable vendor like 86humV or RWH or HPG
I might avoid a specific vendor on EPay who claims OEM but they are really chicom knockoffs. Golfer or Wolf Man or some such...
Eric aka Hummer H1 rips those anlternators out and welds in mounts for off the shelf GM alternators. He has almost 300,000 miles on one of those conversions.
My humble advice… Temporarily use two wires to bypass and power up tranny to see if that helps.

After that fiddle with and or trace wires and replace the power breakers.
Even with bad glow plugs, that light would light up assuming it’s functional. The implication is either the light is bad, or Mogman is correct stating that the protective control box versus EESS Smart box is no longer properly functioning.
Once you interrupt the energy flow in a set of batteries connected in series, you have essentially disconnected the circuit.
Just disconnecting the connection between the two batteries, if done carefully and correctly, will remove power from the circuit.

Air is compressible. All gasses are.
Air just liquifies at the wrong temp and pressure to be as efficient for a car compressor.
When air gets into the system, the compressor won’t be able to liquify the mixture properly, so the system won’t work efficiently.
When your system let go, air got...
Fastest and least damaging… drill out flat side other side. Annoying but simple.
Other method would have been tack weld a bolt to other side and use ratchets both sides.
not enough room for a cutoff wheel and Dremmel just too small.
