Thanks again, Fellro..Your help has been invaluable; if this was a 79 or older and gas i wouldn't miss a trick, and wouldn't be asking anyone anything, I've had so many of them.. but, i wanted another diesel, and this $700 deal was the one i found.. It's been a royal pain, but if and when I ever...

i have replaced ing. switch on this 84 f-250 6.9 diesel and still only have 0.22 volts reading on the multi-meter when i try to start it, and no start.

k guys, i'm very confused and flustered right now.. went to look up wiring diagrams, got to the point of opening the link, but cant seem to get to page nine.. tried to follow your simple directions, but something went amiss somewhere.. trying to bring up the wiring diagram for the glowplug...

Thanks Fellro, gonna try your idea.. thinking maybe it might be a worn out ignition switch.. will know more tomorrow, as it's now dark and we've lost yet another day.. will let You know what we find out..smilieFordlogo

Welcome, I'm another newbie here, but I'll tell You, these guys are good!

cool '63wish You had some pics up, i used to have a 64, sure wish i still had it..

Thanks, Dustybumpers and Fellro, Your advice is spot-on.. got rid of the stupid trailor light plug; they had put it in with those stupid clamp-connecters, and there was all sorts of green weenie in there.. after 12 butt-connectors, a bunch of shrink tubing and about 6 feet of wire spliced in i...

Thanks for the welcomes, Guys.. was checking the gen7 wiring diagrams, and from what's on my truck and the schmatics, i'm wondering if the wiring is different on the trucks with the 6.9 diesels, nothing seems to match. everything seemed to be working pretty well, except the left turn indicator...

in case that idea doesn't work, check the valve that changes from the front to rear tank or vice-versa.. mines the 6.9 diesel, but had the same issue with it; after numerous times stopping dead on the side of the road, and having to have it trucked home a few times i went to using just the back...

smilieFordlogo Hi everyone, Glad to be here; i own a gen 7 84 f250 4X4 with a 6.9 diesel.. it's been a long road for my old girl, but she's almost there. we're operating on a shoestring budget so it's been a little fixing here and there. Looks like the last hurdle is a wiring issue with turn...
