Smoke on start up (not glow plugs)

[thompsoncustom]

I am getting confused by the terminology that you are using. With a standard EESS/PCB, when you turn on your vehicle and there is automatically power to the glow plugs, that is normal. If it never turns off that power, that is abnormal.

so what seemed to happen when it failed is it was always getting power from the solenoid that is currently in there for the alt/heater and since that has power at all time in the run position that's what killed them. (abnormal)

ya that's the plan the glow plugs are going on there own solenoid and not the board.

Seems like you’re now up to speed.

made some progress today on the humvee while I wait to parts for the PCB.

made my own glow plug puller for under 2 dollars.



might not be the prettiest but it worked I was able to remove the drive side front plug as shown. the second one back on the passenger side I made a longer pvc sleeve to clear the heat shield.

That’s exactly the way to do it brother.
