    no clicking with new glow plugs

    Update October I did the 12v bypass and replaced my burnt up AC60s with new ones. The GP relay comes on with the turn of the key and stays on for ?? 20seconds or so. Then off. No Cycling. Just turns off. Now time to work on Control card? or is it due to the 12v bypass?
