Glow plug relay?

[bradthefixer]

Hello, just replaced glow plugs and a few Fuse able link wires. Bosch, Now my WTS light may or may not come on. Sometimes it comes on for a quick second, sometimes full heat up time, sometimes not at all. GP relay? temp sensor? Never a problem until I replaced GPs. Also I only had 10 volts at GPs when checking them one at a time with KOEO with fresh Batteries. Thanks Guys,

Edit to my post. Glow plug relay?

1994 6.5td / I can hear the GP relay clicking when I turn the key.

Welcome Brad.

Exactly which fuseable links did you repair and how?
What brand & part number glowplugs did you install?
Disconnect all the wires from the glowplugs and test the relay.
Fill out the signature like mentioned above, different year trucks control the relay differently.

Welcome!!!

Make sure the batteries are good by load testing them individually.

Signature? How the heck do I do that?

Like I said, the wts LIGHT may or may not light up.

 

[bradthefixer]

Like I said, fresh Batteries. Yes 12volts.

 

[bradthefixer]

like I said FRESH Batteries. YES 12 volts! Load test shows strong Batts.

There is a quirk.

If you turn the key after you unhook the batteries, the GP light will lit for 1 sec only.
What you need to do is to turn the key off and on 2nd time, it should go back to almost normal.

You can also try to unplug the CTS and see if you can get the full glow.

Also make sure as shown in video that it has 12 volt at the GP controller/relay.

got it figured out, the plunger on the GP relay was sticking in either open or closed. guess thats why WTS light was all over the place. Thanks all for your input. Now on to the ses light issue.
