John Deere 332 - No cold start

[robpadoe]

Just bought a 332 and am having problems starting it when the engine is cold. Once it starts it runs fine and will restart all day. Installed new glow plugs because one tested bad - preheat light comes on for about 8 seconds when I turn on the ignition but I'm not getting power to the glow plugs. Is there an in line fuse or fuselink somewhere? Where do they hide it? Appreciate any help. Lost in NW Illinois

There is a glow plug module that may be coming into play here. Maybe your Deere dealer would give you a copy of the electric schematic to see where to check it out. Maybe can find out if there is power to that module. Part # AM100819

Thanks beenthere. Got copies of the electric schematic from local JD dealer today. There's a fuselink that powers the glow plug module. Found it and the glow plug module. Will check it out tomorrow and let you know the outcome. Hope its the fuselink - the glow plug module looks like a pain in the neck to get to.

Found the problem! It was the glow plug control module. Fuselink from starter to module was OK - had power to the module but not from the module to the glow plugs. Thought $70 was a little steep but it had John Deere on the package. It runs like a deere now. Thanks again for the help.
