Builds BJ42 Restoration

[Crescent Wrench]

I have a question, where exactly does this gizmo attach to? Does it mount to the inside of the steering box? Thanks

It's for the glow plug

On my 42 it is not connected since the wilson switch. , 24v from the selenoid go direct to the main buss bare

Thanks guys, I was scratching my head a bit on the one.

Ok one more For you Jim Land, I have a blue wire with a large eye, a black wire with a orange stripe and a small eye and a black wire with a medium eyelet. Any idea?

That’s how mine is wired. 84 bj42. Factory super glow.

 

[jim land]

It’s black and I think it goes on the far post on the glo plug assembly. I’ll take picture, it makes sense to go there. The starter has the battery lead and the trigger wire and I think that’s it unless you can get a
Picture of your set up. Very much appreciated btw. Added picture where I think the black wire goes

On my 42, this black wire is connected to the edic .
It is possibly not the factory location , the PO (an old friend ) did some mistake on the wiring during the gozzard tub install back in early 2000

I will find the truth

Hey Rob, I meant to come see you this weekend but I had in-laws and I was fighting for time to work on the LC. It’s coming leaps and bounds now, but next week I’m off for 3 weeks so I will definitely come see you. I have a bag of small brackets that I need to find a home for on my engine lol

 

[Crescent Wrench]

Jim Land, thanks for your help, it got me past a stumper. I will be back next week and back at
It again.

ok, so I’m back plugging away. I’ve had a couple of setbacks... namely I cracked the rear heater line trying to install it and my edit motor won’t actuate. Heater line is easy but the edic issue is more involved. When I hook up the sender my oil gauge moves more than half way with the ignition on. I haven’t test fired it yet but I have cranked it. Fuel tank is still out as I need to finish installing the seats.
my question is, should there be voltage to the low oil pressure sender? I have voltage to the large round pressure switch so it’s either pooched or ? I will also recheck my two grounds . Somewhere I have shop manuals but it’s been so long that I am on my 2nd computer.
any checks that I can try or suggestions to get the edic to cycle is appreciated

 

[Crescent Wrench]

i pulled the fuel relay apart and it clicks when I hook it to up to the low oil pressure sender but it doesn’t do anything when I cycle the key. Looking for some experts on this system. Edic is quiet too and doesn‘t cycle when the key is turned on

Problem with your edic:
in order
1: check ground contact motor edic and check fuse line
2:connector edic contact failure ( check the connector(s) )
3: bad contact inside the circular strip contact because old grease ( in the motor) clean and change the grease
4:electrical box control edic out of order ( must be changed)
5:electrical motor edic out of order ( must be changed)


intresting full documentation but in french

I have power and ground, fuel relay clicks when I hook up the low oil pressure switch wire. But is it supposed to Audibly click when you turn the ignition on?
I looked at the French website and my phone gave me an immediate warning so I backed out. Not going to risk getting my phone corrupted.

Ok
I’m figured it out. I took the EDIC apart and checked everything, cleaned the armature and brushes. Replaced the grease and then test the actuator. I grounded the body to negative and used a gator clip to go to M (white wire) and....nothing. I couldn’t believe it. So I took the jumpers off and hooked them up again to double check (same way as before) and bingo it worked. Reassembled the fuel relay cover and reinstalled the EDIC. Turn the key and it actuated. I’m super pumped.
