Hi!
Well, it could be a number of things. First, I would pull out the big
resistor that drops the volts from 24 to 12v and hook directly to 12v.
Then, bypass the controller card and put in manual glow plug button hooked
to solenoid to trigger the glow plugs when button pushed. Push 10 seconds
warm weather, and about 15 seconds in the winter to start. Master kill
switch will also save starter in the future

Subject: [MV] CUCV Glow Plug Problem
Hello Listers,
I've got a problem with my 1985 CUCV M009 glow plug system. Recently I had
the start relay go bad in mid-crank causing the starter to keep cranking
even after I turned the key off. Before I could get the battery
disconnected, several wires got real hot and smoked causing the insulation
to burn off several wires. I replaced the start relay and repaired the
wiring. I found all my glow plugs were burned out (ohm check showed 0). I
replaced the glow plugs and tried to crank it up. The glow plug relay
cycles (quickly) and the light comes on but no start. Checked the new glow
plugs and they are all shorted out now too. Voltage check shows 24 volts
going to the glow plugs when it cycles. Shouldn't only 12 volts be going to
the glow plugs??? Is something shorted out?? Any clues would be greatly
appreciated. I'm stumped on this one. Happy Thanksgiving. Kevin MVPA
