[QUOTE="flaboy-, post: 202552, member: 3688"] Replace the glow plug relay. It is located over on the left valve cover as you face the engine from the front. Remove the black cover to get to it. It is basically a Ford starter solenoid. You apply 12VDC to the little stud and it will turn the solenoid on and allow 12VDC to warm the glow plugs. You can remove the output side (to glow plugs) and try again. If it still pops the fuse then the glow plug relay is not the problem but the load (glow plugs) or wiring harness may be shorted somewhere going to them. One side of the solenoid will be hot all the time. When you turn the key on it will energize the glow plug relay by applying 12VDC to the little pole on the solenoid. This will turn the solenoid on and apply 12VDC to the glow plugs. I have seen two types of "glow plug controllers" but both were located where I said and operate the same way. Let us know what you find. [/QUOTE]
