Mark, Go to a autoelectric shop. they should have it. it is called a T-92 terminal and housing. you may have to modifie the housing or flaten the the blade on the ambient switch if they don't have the right housing. if nothing else contact me and give me a address where to send it. I'll make one up for you.
This post is about a '85 Chevy Blazer w/ 6.2L diesel. There is another post in here about "glow plug wire" and this is what I ma referring to in the pics at this link (link is from webshots under folder called glow plug and has captions talking about pic):
My question is, does anyone know what this is? How to resolve my problem? Can I get a new one of the plugs shown somewhere other than a junk yard? Dealer said they weren't available, but I am thinking otherwise as it seems I have seen this type of plug on other vehicles. Thanks for any and all help.
That is the glow plug cut-off switch connector, GM installed that switch so when the engine was above 130 degrees the glow plugs would not cycle when you restart. There was a service bulletin for people who had hard starting with warm engine, GM changed that switch from a thermally active sensor to a dummy sensor. The easiest way to repair it would be to cut the connector off and splice the two wires together, after you do that you will find the glow plugs will cycle even when the engine is hot. I also own a 85 Blazer diesel
So then would I directly wire that to that switch? Those wires aren't a positive and a negative? How does you 6.2L run? What kind of gas mileage do you get with it? I get about 24-28 mpg depending on driving situation.
