    Mehindra diesel hard starting

    Ty The reason it does not throw a code is because it has no connections to the main ECU. So, the main ECU thinks it is working even when it is not.

    To date i have built a three point hitch to attach a Italian Tiller to a standard Tractor. Using an old standard pto shaft along with the tiller pto shaft universal I built a Pto shaft to fit. I have repaired the Hydraulics on a Mahindra, Repaired the electronic control module system for glow...

    Hi from Mississippi,USA

    Thank you and Very True. It is being able to see past the symptoms and see the problem that caused the symtoms. That is not the easiest thing to do. But in order to see past the symtoms you have to know the operations, mechanics and electrical systems of what you are working on. The same symptom...

    Mehindra diesel hard starting

    Update: I ended up using the diagram I posted earlier with a weather proof push button. The R11EA $30 module I ordered had a configuration that used a 12 volt+ to activate the glow plug indicator for which Mahindra uses ground. It does activate the glow plugs while turning the engine(with no...

    Mehindra diesel hard starting

    Ty I could not find a manual for it. I just downloaded from the site you posted. The reason I was doing a repair or modification on module is because the cheapest module I could find was 250$ and from a site I am not so sure about. The Mahindra dealers wants 400$ for this control module and...

    Yes your method will work for a dirty contact but is only a temporary solution. Using emery cloth (if the emery cloth is more than 1000 grit) and cleaner to clean the contacts I would say this would work for a couple weeks or months. The reason this method does not hold up is the emery cloth...

    This is for anyone with the same problem. Doing it this way if you ever want to go back to using a Mahindra controller all you have to do is unplug this one and plug the new one in because you are not changing any of the mahindra wiring harness.

    Yes I was thinking the about same thing or using a relay along with a cheap timer so when the ign switch is turned on it starts the timer and shows the GP indicator or buying an r11-ae and seeing if I could modify it to work for 29$, same connector style and number of pins. It will plug right up...

    Mehindra diesel hard starting

    When you turn the key to the right before engaging the starter the glow plug indicator comes on. This is when it is supposed to be sending power to the glow plugs. I attached a Volt meter to the rail that hooks to the glow plugs. The meter reading at no time showed any voltage being applied to...

    Mehindra diesel hard starting

    I found the problem. It is the glow plugs and glow plug controller. That 8.3 volts connector that is shown in the preveious picture in the red circle is the glow plug power and unplugged it should be 12 volts and a few volts less plugged up. What had me fooled about where they were located is...

    Mehindra diesel hard starting

    I went out this morning To start checking. I found that first I had to blow off the engine just to see it lol and will most likely have to pressure wash it before I take any thing apart. I did start the engine after I saw I would have to clean it and moved the tactor to a place I can clean it...

    Hmm that is interesting about a check valve. I wonder if this Mahindra has one. If it does that it is something else that needs checking. Good advice about using a thermal test unit but I should have told everyone I was an industrial electronics tech for a long time so I know most of the things...

    Hi from Mississippi,USA

    I came on and looked around a good while ago because I had a someone that wanted some information about his Tactor. At that time I was not working on any. But the search eneded up not revealing anything. Instead of making a post I found the info I was looking for online from another page. Now...
