starting,,,, clicking doesn't shut off

[clemdidem]

Ive been haveing a problem starting my 2415 for quite a while....first, when the key is turned on it makes the clidking sound while the plugs wrm up...when the clicking stopps i turn the key further to the right and sometimes it starts and others it just clcks at which time i wiggle the key clickig it each time and eventually it catches and start. thts one problem...tonight I turned the key and the clicking indicting the plugs were warming up, started but it never stopped....it keeps on clicking and I cant figure out if the plugs are not heating or what....if I continue the key to the right nothing happens

The clicking from your glow plug relay and starter relay are from low voltage/current. Have you load tested your battery, or tried jumping from another source? Have you checked alternator voltage when engine runs?
Probably a bad battery or connection.
If it starts normal with a jump, check alternator voltage. If voltage is correct, remove battery and have battery tested and replaced if needed.
Be sure to clean terminals when installing battery.
Hope this helps.

Are you sure the clicking you hear isn’t your fuel lift pump?

It does sound like a low battery or dirty terminal issue. Charge the battery, with a full charge connect a voltmeter to the battery. It should be over twelve volts. While monitoring voltage have someone go through the start procedure. If the battery drops below ten volts or so a replacement is probably due. If the voltage stays up clean battery terminals and cable connectors. Do not neglect the frame ground point. Replace connectors and tighten SECURELY.

Loose or bad ground.

Battery or battery connection issues. Bad ground and/or low voltage cause all kinds of weird issues from electrical gremlins to no start to "nothing wrong"
