I was cleaning the terminals on my diesel yesterday and when i went to reinstall the cables, i heard a small little sparking sound. Sure enough, when i touched the heavy black wire(10 awg maybe) back to the positive terminal of the battery i got a pretty good little spark. The keys were out of the ignition and everything was off but i still am getting some sort of current draw. The first thing i checked was the wire going to the glow plug buss bar. I unhooked it from the bar, and touched the black wire back to the positive terminal and no more spark. So now i figure i'm getting 12vdc all the time to the glow plugs.
I grab my meter and do some checking...
Here i hooked the + meter lead to the glow plug wire..
And here is the - meter lead to the - battery terminal...
Here are the keys in the seat with nothing turned on...
But yet i'm still getting 12vdc...
Do i have a stuck relay? I have a relay mounted on the floor board of the passanger side... is this where i need to start?
Thanks
