I pulled the connection on the driver's side inner fender for the glow plugs, and tested the power to that point (a-ok, about 11.8 Volts) and then did a continuity check to each plug from the female receptacle. The receptacle has six connections arranged like the six spots on dice. 5 were between 1.1 and 0.9 Ohms. One was infinite. Is there a key so I can decode which one is the bad one? By "key" I mean, is there a means to identify which socket on the female receptacle is which glow plug. This used to be marked right on the plug/receptacle on older cars, but I could not see anything like that. Thanks, Jim
