Thank you!. What was happenning in that thread seems
to be exactly what I am experiencing.

Unfortunately the thread has no conclusion.
Many solutions presented, no resolution posted. Dang!.

The suggestion is that there is resistance somewhere sufficient
enough to cause the voltage to drop to zero when connected to glow plugs.

I will check the strip fuse and ground strap for decent clean connection.

Any other specific places to look for resistence ?
