The wiki is fairly new... needs updating... Feel free to upate/edit info there. Thats the point of the wiki setup.

If I remember right... (havent looked real close at mine) But the resistor is just a wire wound around a ceramic insulator, correct? If so, the only way it could fail to a full 24v would be for a wire to break off and short out against another. I think the 'assumption' that its bad has been...

Yes... I will restate, I am pretty confident the resistor cant fail in such a mode... unless its highly visible. Can you take a picture or 2 of your resistor please?

I see a bunch... last one says 'rjt'

Common bypass is to just move the wire from the output of the resistor to the 12v terminal on the block right there. When you do this, you wont be able to jump it using the slave port, if your batteries are totally dead.

I guess the resistor is bad then :-( I really dont see how, unless the insulator failed, and wires are touching

what was the last plug you had in there? Was it Wellman 070? Did they have the narrow spade connector? If you use the wrong plugs... they will fail prematurely. Put in a set of the correct plugs, and upon the first time you use them measure that voltage. That will tell you if the resistor...

Chuck, he never did say the glow plugs were getting the 24v. Thats why I asked at what point he was measuring the voltage.

I am not sure on the resistance... I just know what the voltages measure.

Are you measuring this while the relay is on, or off? It would be an accurate voltage with the relay off. Wit it on, you will measure roughly 11.5 volts with 8 good glow plugs. Anything higher than that you most likely have faulty plugs. I just went through this helping a fellow member with...
