Truck died

[XTrmXJ]

She died on the way to work this morning, wouldnt start back up.. Flipped the key and no Glow plug wait light.. started to reach for the CPS that I have in the glove box and decided to check somthing else.. So I start looking at fuses and low and behold under the hood in the Box I had what I believe the #9 fuse or the big 30 fuse closest to the motor was blown.. Luckily I had a spare in the glove box also.. Popped it in and she cranked back up.. So WTF does that fuse go too? I looked in my Chiltons manual and it wont tell you crap about the diesel motors

I believe the fuel heater is on that fuse. If it's bad or shorts out it will pop the PCM fuse. May try unplugging the fuel heater to see if it doesn't pop that fuse.

Fuel heater on #22 also takes out PCM.

Ok it did it again yesterday, luckly it was in my driveway, where can I disconnect it, my manual doesnt even mention it, and or where it is, fo rthe time being I though a 40 in place of the 30 fuse till I could find where it is

 

[action4478]

Which fuse are you having the problem with???
