Ok so I went to start the M998 tonight to fill up the tank before tomorrows trail ride. When I turned the Rotary Switch from Stop to Run I heard the "clunk" from the KDS Box but did not see the Wait to Start light come on. The Volt Meter didn't pulse indicating the glow plugs were firing. I checked the battery voltage and I have 25.4 VDC. I have the Yellow Label KDS Box (CR-2695) and Yellow Band KDS Temp Sensor (CR-2695). I got out the TM 9-2320-280-20-1 and followed the diagnostic flow chart; When I come to the point where I disconnect the connector to the KDS Sensor and turn the Rotary Switch from off to run the glow plugs cycle (Note the wait to start light flashes 14 times). On on page 2-310 step B2 it indicates to check power at pin 6 of the harness and if there is battery voltage present then there is a short in the engine connector harness. That seems strange to me; the plugs will cycle with the switch unplugged but not with it plugged in. I maybe wrong but am thinking that the KDS Temp Sensor is bad.
Your advice is much appreciated
