When I got my truck the original glow plug solenoid went bad and the guy installed a starter solenoid hooked to a switch. Right now I have it disconnected after I replaced the original solenoid and hooked it up the way it was but I think I’m going to hook the other one back up also so it will work manually if I need it and with the key.
I have a 93 6.5l turbo diesel I just had the engine rebuilt but I have remote start in it with wait 2 start for glow plugs. Is there a way 2 use ur glow plug setup where u don't have 2 push the button?
Yes, it will take an additional relay since mine doesn’t have enough amps to trip the big relay on its own. I may add that to mine. I’ll definitely make a video of it. The button will still work, but it will function automatically as well.
Remove the computer from the glow plug system. The computer doesn’t have enough amperage to “pull in” the glow plug solenoid. Not worth risking damage to the ECM. You could possibly use another relay that would be controlled by the ECM to apply high current/amps to the large solenoid.

Should work fine.
I hope so. So far so good

Probably true
