Howdy, I hope someone here can lend a hand....
Here is what happened. My little diesel cranked wonderfully a week ago. Then my dad and I replaced the tranny fluid and engine oil. He connected a pair of wires that i believe was disconnected before that were coming off of the transmission housing near the shifter. Anyway, I went to start it, and the buzz sound buzzed, the glow plugs glowed, i attempted to crank it, and it made a split second attempt at cranking, and then nothing!
Now, the ignition switch does not make a buzz sound when turned counter clockwise, nor attempt to crank when turned clockwise. I put a simple volt tester on the ignition switch and it appears to be working. (The center lug on the bottom is hot until the switch it turned either way).
There is a single fuse i saw below the instrument panel that i replaced, but still nothing. I have tried disconnecting the two wires my old man hooked back...I put a ohm meter on the wires coming from the clutch safety plunger, and it changed from 0 to infinte when the plunger was depressed, so that appears to be working...any help troubleshooting would be appreciated.
