Electrical difficulties (FIRST How's Your BATTERY???)

If you still have your ORIGINAL Pre-Glow Relay ,There's no 80 Amp fuse,The
Relay is Electronically enabled to "SEE" "Shorts" and disengage.

A Dim bulb indicates a weak battery or a bad (Partial) connection.

Howeveah,

1.With your DMM (Multimeter) [Usually on SALE @ Sears or Harbor Freight]
Measure the Voltage @ the RED (Insulated) single wire at the Glow Relay
[your Glow Relay is mounted on the Driver's Wheel house,front]The RED wire
has BATTERY Voltage (AKA HOT at All Times)

2.Be VERY Diligent in your inspections and find the Pre-Glow Ground wire.
Test it for Continuity.Make sure all it's connections are "Clean,Bright and Tight"

You'll need these instructions (Below) for "Visuals" of what we're talking
about.

You'll note the Dash (I.C.) Pre-Glow Light is on the 4 Prong plug for the Relay
(Marked "LA")

All this is just for "Openers" [But,you could always "Get Lucky" and find it above.
