[Public-list] Glow plug grounding?

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Randy,

Universal should have an ohm value for the glow plug. That value will tell
you if you have a bad plug or a bad ground, check the hot side of the plug
to ground and to the plug. Any anti seize compound may effect the grounding.

    Hmmm,  could too much anti-seizing compound result in poor or
compromised grounding between the glow  plug and the engine block?  The
comments below made me wonder about that...

#######
By taking out the glow plug and connecting it to a battery
is not a valid load test.  Remember if the engine block is
the negative ( or low ) side of the circuit and you have a
poor connection to the block a small resistance will result
in lowering the voltage right at the glow plug.  To do this
correctly your volt meter positive ( red ) lead must be
right at the plug and the negative (black ) must also be
right at the plug casing, when this is done you should read
12 volts anything less will cause the plug to have lower
heat.
