All,
We have a 2006 2.8L CRD. I just changed out the 7V ceramic glow plugs to 5V metallic. I need to start the jeep with the glow plugs bypassed to take it to dealer to have memory flashed (I'll use the engine block heater to pre-heat engine).
Any straightforward ideas to bypass the glow plugs?
I was thinking I could just disconnect the fuse. Which fuse is dedicated to the glow plugs on the 2.8L CRD? Any issues with disconnecting it to bypass glow plugs?
Another idea was to disconnect the connection to each glow plug. It might be a pain trying to reconnect wires with all the equipment in the way (alternator bracket, intake elbow, fuel filter).
And another idea was to disconnect the relay altogether, but I just don't know if this would affect the ability to start the truck in another way.
Thanks!
Ryan
