Hi All,
I know this subjet has been discussed a lot but I was not able to find a solution for my issue.
My truck had low batteries last monhts so I was starting it with a booster. After a couple of times, I realised that the GP relay was "staying on" and he was almost burning.
It became crazy hot and made some smoke while the engine was turning...
I decided to replace the relay and bought some new batteries ;
when that was done, no more "wait" light in the dash, but I can clearly hear the noise of the relay.
The truck is starting well but after a couple of minutes, I can smell a "burning plastic or a bruning electrical wire smell".
Something else unusual : in the past, the voltmeter showed 28V after 2-3 min running ; now he's giving me only 24V and a little bit more if I push on the throttle.
I know a lot of issues comme from the Glow Plug card / module but I don't know if mine is working like it should or not. And I don't know how to test it.
It had one of the small resitors which was burned; a guy from an electroshop replaced that component and told me that he checked all the other ones. But he can't guarantee that the card is working like it should. He can just test all the small components (not the processor) individually without knowing what they are doing in the truck's system.
Does somebody had an idea ?
Appolgies for English, this is not my native language.
