My dad was working on his '17 Gator and ran into a cold start issue. He was trying to figure out if the glow plugs were getting power but accidentally swapped some fuses from the 2 boxes near the pedals. Does anyone have a diagram showing which fuse capacities go where ? The glow plug connections are tricky to reach under the intake so we measured resistance across all 3 and got about 0.4 ohms. If each plug is around 1.2 ohms that seems right for a parallel setup. Could anyone confirm ?
 
you'll have to use good old google for the diagram. As for the plugs, the resistance is good and on point with that you should be getting. Your dad might want to check each glow plug separately and see if they heat up. Also, check the wiring in case there's some damage somewhere
 
Thanks for all your recommendations!

We tested each glow plug, confirmed they heat up and traced the issue back to a damaged wire which is now fixed. Everything's running smoothly again.
 
That's fantastic! It sounds like you really figured out what was going on. Glad to hear that the glow plugs are in good shape and that you've sorted out the wiring issue. Everything's back on track now, and that's what matters. Did you notice any other issues while you were digging into it? Hopefully no
 
Nice work tracking that down! Electrical issues can be a pain, but you handled it like a pro anyway. Isn't it satisfying when a cold start turns warm again?
 
Appreciate the good words from both of you. You're right, @AlleyGator there's nothing better than hearing it fire right up in the cold. @bellevue we got lucky and didn't find any other gremlins hiding in the wiring while we were in there.
