Default Starting Problems

As part of my "Getting to Know " my unit I noticed a Solenoid on the top left side of the engine on my International Endura. Seems that this is the Glowplug solenoid. The large wire going to it had a corroded connector and terminal (As a brand new unit) and so I cleaned them both up. This is similar to a starter solenoid found on Fords and others in years past. This is the part of the glowplug system that handles the high current and is a high failure rate item. Keep an eye on this it probably is a big part of the problem. I am looking into replacing it with a "Solid State" Relay (One of the Benefits of working in Electronics for 35 years), if I come up with the part I'll let you know.
