If you need to check glow plugs on a Ford or Chevy Diesel engine, run a hot wire from your battery. un plug the glow plug wire and strike the hot wire to the end of the glow plug. If you get a spark the glow plug is good. you should do this to each one, but one at a time then replace the glow plug wire as you go.
