96 Diesel Won't Start

[jedifan]

How about the ignition switch?

 

[Whitehoe]

Is there a way to test it other than buying a new one?

 

[Whitehoe]

I give up

I give up

no... don't give up... then it will 100% definitely not ever get fixed

Clip a wire directly to the main terminal of the starter and check the voltage while cranking. Do the same thing with the solenoid wire. They should be within .5 volts of the batteries. If not, replace the battery cables.

It's a 6.5TD. It's not supposed to start. That's been my experience with them, anyway...

I know; not helpful. But it's all I got.

Step two right here.

I'm gonna try a bypass on the glow plugs I was going to install one anyways. I was just mad because I stripped the tensioner pulley bolt trying to put the alternator back in

 

[Whitehoe]

Bypass didn't work I've tested all my grounds and they all work with the test light any other suggestions

 

[Whitehoe]

Could it be my pmd?
