In previous posts have advised about my wiring harness woes..on a TL 2300...FRIED.....maybe someone can help me figure out the glow plug....so as I rebuild the wiring harness I can get it right...before I disassembled the harness the glow plug wasnt working.....I must have a good engine as it would even start in the low 30's........
Problem 1.
On the left side of the dash is a button.....no not the horn that is one of the few things that works.....but next to it......when pushed this button makes the electrical idiot light come on........this is the only idiot light that works.......thought for a long time that this was the glow plug........but while takin apart the wiring discovered that the glow plug indicator is a resistor coil and has it's window over by the key......WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS BUTTON????
Problem 2.
The glow plug indicator never comes on nor do the actual glow plugs on the block get hot.......Lens12....thanks Bud....sent me a schematic.....yes, I need a manual BAD....any deals?..........the schematic shows that the glow plug indicator has a wire going from a terminal on the key switch, through the resistor, and back to a different terminal on the key switch........my wiring....which had been rebuilt once already I think......had 2 wires going to the correct terminals with a third pigtailed going to the resitor.....could this be right?..........or is the schematic right?..........then the other real question is...............how do you actually get the glowplug to work.......???????.............I imagine it is possibly a key position.............perhaps holding to the left?........well, enough for today.......thanks for YOUR help........
