Glow plugs dont work

[stumblefoot]

Went to start the Blazer and my glow plugs dont work! No glow plugs=no start. Its been converted to a push button, no "wait" light. Its an old ARMY CUCV so its a 24V system, when the glow plugs work you can see the voltage drop on the gauge. The solinoid works OK, but no voltage drop, and no glow plugs, is there a fuse or something I am missing? Im stumped, and its my DD so I kinda need it fixed soon!

I just put new glow plugs and injectors in it and had the injector pump rebuilt.

bump, need some advise

I would check the ground on your push button first. Have you traced your wires yet? Power in and out of your solinoid? Check the output on your resistor bank (drops the 24v to 12v), it could have taken a crap. Then start checking each GP. If one goes it will send higher voltage to the others until they fry.

yep, make sure all your wires are hooked up first. had the same problem on mine, ended up being a wire I had knocked loose when i was doing some other work on it.

IIRC there are fusible links in the GP wires. You may need to check for continuity between the GP lead and the solenoid, and between the solenoid and the battery. That is, unless you have replaced all the original GP wiring...
