Yeah that's BS. I found the culprit. Circuit 30 is a main robust power source.

It goes from starter, to fuse #1, comes back (unfused) to headlight switch. Outputs two wires to ignition switch. Then to gorilla knob. Then to glow plugs. No fuses. Lol.

Mine had done this before, hence the newer plugs in my old motor. Someone did a crappy repair (kinda fortunately), and the two ignition wires melted off above the headlight switch.

I've been wondering why my headlight switch was just hanging.

Boshe makes a fast glow plug system that does away with the series, and uses a relay. In your case you could wire a button. The FSM has a lot of details about that gorilla switch.

I have a stock of relays from eBay, I'm gonna put my current glow plugs on a relay and fuse direct from the battery before I even try to start this thing.

I have another thread in the diesel section with a guy that dealt with it before.

Thanks for the help. I was stuck yesterday and couldn't think how to jump the key.
