The Napa solenoid

GLOW PLUG RELAY G
Description: The glow plug relay is an electro-mechanical switching device
with two large copper electrical studs and two small electrical steel studs.
Function:
When the glow plug relay coil is activated (at the two small steel studs) by the glow plug control module, electrical current creates a magnetic force in the coil that kicks the plunger out against two large copper terminals. This, in-turn, allows current to. flow from the ballast resistors to the glow plugs.
Location: The glow plug relay is attached to the engine compartment
bulkhead, left of the vehicle's center line

GLOW PLUG @
Description:
The CUCV 6.2 diesel engine glow plugs are temperature self-regulating. This offers a rapid glow plug temperature rise, but does not require the critical shut-off timing and cycling that a commercial glow plug system does.
Function:
To rapidly heat the cylinder prechamber to aid in starting a cold engine (not at operating temperature).
The glow plugs are designed to operate under three condi-tions:
• "PRE-GLOW" ....

... cycle during the amount of time that
the "WAIT" Light is on.
• "CRANKING GLOW"... glow plugs remain on during the engine

cranking period.
• "AFTER GLOW"…..... depending on engine temperature, the
glow plugs can remain cycling for up
to 90 seconds after engine start-up.
Location: The glow plugs (eight in all) are threaded into each of the
cylinder prechambers (four in each head) between the fuel injection nozzle and the exhaust manifold

Thank you for posting this, been fighting this issue for a couple months

I appreciate the video the manual for doing this makes it sound over complicated

[donovanruiz]

What are at the other ends of the little orange and pink wires connected to? Thank you. Everything else is making complete sense and I'll be doing this next week.

My glow plugs have started to randomly switching on and off while driving. Do you know what might be causing this?

[smudge]

I have the exact solenoid as yourself, but the pink wire is the top terminal and the blue at the bottom. I’ve seen many pictures & videos the same setup as mine.
Would you think it’ll be okay to swap to the same as yours and then take your advice on a manual glow plug switch ? Keep up the good work I’ve learned a lot from your videos 👍🏻

Hi I've got a m1008 with the manual glow plug push button. How long should I hold the button before cranking I'm in Florida

[doughboy]

Is that solenoid a constant duty solenoid like on a golf cart that is designed for a high amperage load?

[yupsup]

Ive got a 5 post (2 on the end and 3 on the body of the relay) soleniod relay on mine. Can i wire the pink, blue and manual switch wires to the same signal post?

[shawnlawrence]

I'm going through my truck electricals and ignition lights comes on when the key is fully in the start position. I assume it's a bad ignition switch, I'm not sure, based off your knowledge, what could be the cause? I figure the ignition lights should be activated before the start position. My first time doing this so I'm not sure.

I'm not really against this push button crap but I always choose to put the glow plug system back to its original condition. They worked for 40 yrs without failure (mostly). Not too bad compared to that chinesium relay that might last all summer if your lucky.
