maybe the pink wire?

[scrambled]

TI am spending the day helping a friend with his 1008 and am running into a problem. I left my copy of the TM at home, and the only internet we have is on my little phone. YAY!

I am having a hard time getting the glowplug relay to close. It is a brand new napa st85. I have good voltage at the top post. We installed a push button to work the relay. The switch does not worrk. My ground is good. I even ran a wire from the top small terminal and tried grounding that way, but no dice.

Is there suppossed to be voltage at the pink wire on the lower small terminal?

i hate to head home for the tm, but that might be my best option.


thanks,
travis

Pink wire should have 12 volts on it. Connecting the light blue wire to ground should close the relay.
Check the fuses to see if there are any that are open.

It must be a switchable hot. As soon as you hit it with 12 volts, everything works as it should. Now to find why is has no power....

Take one wire run it to one of the small terminals and ground it take another and run it from the other small terminal to your pushbutton.

The pink wire for the GP relay is controlled by the ignition switch. The switch has to be in the run/start position before there is power.
