Glow Timer Blows 5A Fuse

[garry1p]

oldnslow, I suspect when he connects the timer in the harness he is plugging in something else beside the timer as the timer is probably controlled by a relay. I may be wrong but I doubt the fuse goes directly to the timer, having said that, this would not the first time I have over thought something.

The only way to know for sure is to look at the diagram and find what all the fuse goes to. He has the diagram and may need to use a magnifying glass to see the circuit as he said the print is very small.

U mention it is a 5 amps fuse, i'm pretty sure that this fuse will not power the glow plugs, glow plugs current draw will be much higher.
are u sure it is or was a 5 amp fuse ?

Which tractor do u have ?

I'm back again -- this time with a question to the TYM273 community; Does anyone out there have a "Readable" electric schematic?
I have one but it's tiny (cannot read even with magnify glass) and when I went to get it enlarged it made no difference. The gals at ups office told me the file was corrupted. They asked me if I had it on a disc and I don't. I need a schematic on some kind of file so it could be downloaded into their machines and copied. Probably nothing is out there but I had to ask!

Otherwise I'm going to be tearing apart my entire electric system line-by-line and basically in the unknown to try find where it's shorting.
Thanks if anyone out there has one and will share it. Greg

Found this thread with a picture of a diagram that might be for your tractor. It is not wonderful but may be better than what you have. There is a relay that is between the glow timer and the glow plugs that would be a good place to check for your short.
