While you are at it, have you rewired your glow plug so that the switch
takes the battery directly to the glow plug? At least, I think that is how
it is rewired. All I remember at this point is adding a solenoid to the
circuit, and I think removing a large length of wiring.

I noticed recently that when I turn on the keyed engine switch, the
battery charge/discharge gauge shows more of a discharge than normal. I
suspected the Glow plug switch was shorted such that turning the
ignition switch on immediately enables the glow plugs. So today, I
turned on the ignition switch, waited 30 seconds and was able to start
the Universal M-18 without having to press the separate push button
switch for the glow plugs....so indeed, it would appear the switch is
shorted.
So my question is, has anyone purchased one of these push button
(momentary) switches recently and if so, where. I did some searching on
a number of sites but came up empty. I'll start calling them unless
someone has a reference site.
Thanks
