A few wiring bugs

[bbob203]

#1 Glow plug relay is ticking intermittently thought it had a pattern of when it would occur but now no idea. Only time it definitely does it is on an immediate restart after a long haul. Just on its way out? I dropped down the fuse box and nothing looked out of the ordinary in that department.

#2 I discovered a pretty toasty bown wire on terminal f connector some kind of ground? Any idea where it goes?

Do you know the age of the relay? Remove it and test it.

There should be two brown wires in the F connector and they are both to the main fuse box grounds internally of the fusebox  which should go directly to the battery negative.

Could be stock relay.. Only 1 brown wire on me battery.

The way I read the Bentley, the brown wires on bus #31 go to Chassis-ground.

Something drew heavy current through there... who knows when... any known short  (GP relay, Headlights, Cig lighter, Fresh air fan)?

That wire was at one point poorly connected to the negative battery terminal it has since been fixed the whole casing on it looks like a kraft single in the microwave though bubly melty and crispy.

I'd be looking for other wires with similar issues, that current came from somewhere.

I think it was from prolonged cranking when I was having injection pump issues.

new relay is in so hopefully that will cure my tick tick tick

glow plug relay still clicking after new installed

Give up on stock system. Install standalone glow plug system and be better off in life.

Glows will get higher voltage and amperage, if it fails its right there in the open to diagnose, parts are all cheaper than one glow relay lol.
