DK40SE HST Won't Start. Just cranks over

[k0ua]

A couple of things to remember. The Glow plug relay is rated for 70 amps and the other two for 40 amps. This is the contact rating, and obviously the glow plug relay needs to have a larger and more robust set of contacts to handle the huge amount of current the glow plugs require. On a DK se series the three relays on on the firewall on the outside in the engine compartment, but I can't say for sure on a 2005 as it is not an se series. Also keep in mind that which exact relay harness is attached to which relay is up for grabs as anyone can easily have moved the harness to a different relay location in testing or it could have even been done at the factory or dealership prep. Here is a DKXXse is set up.

Great pix and makes it much clearer in what they look like and where located, even if mine is different the relays would be similar in appearance and on or about the firewall makes sense.

Caper: Your 2005 DK likely has a different version engine where the stop solenoid is not on the front of the engine block but external on the right side of the engine. That style operates via the manual stop linkage, not by pushing directly on the IP rack. That old style also functions differently: it is powered for several seconds (to stop the engine) after the key is turned off (basically opposite from the new style which must be powered to allow the engine to run). The good news is that that old style is not known to break the gears in the IP. The bad news is that the old service manuals are not very good; they have little detail or explanation.
