Update - was fuel solenoid connection.

Bad news this evening. After getting all running strong.. seemingly... had s total shut down today. Truck just died 2 miles from home. Thought I ran out of diesel, so went and got some. Then looked st fuel filter... was full. Bled all for bubbles. No avail. Couldn’t get to start...

My question exactly.

I have a diagram, but only GY I see is for heater, which doesn’t make sense to me why it would be attached to ignition switch. Heater works, so far as I can tell... it IS 100 degrees in NC though

Don’t have any interior dome lights

Also, when ignition turns off, my gauges do not turn off, ie, fuel and battery, temp all continue to read. This has caused s slow draw on battery - left me w a weak battery after a week of vacation. On the daily no issue.

Can anyone guide me about these loose connections at start switch? Tried to look at wiring diagram but having a hard time interpreting. The GY and W look like they need to be on starter switch, but not sure what they do or where to connect. Running fine without.

Got everything bled and running strong. Put some transmission fluid in new fuel filter before i bled everything though. Started right up. When I was bleeding before, had no resistance on lift pump, so turned engine a couple times to get oriented correctly. 👍

several questions today... I changed my lift pump, and set out to change fuel filter. Turns out, my 2.5NA is running 200/300 TDI fuel filters. I bought the ones for the 2.5. Fuel in the current filter looked clean though, no sediment in bottom. Not really sure what I'm looking for, but it...

Thanks a lot for the input Doug.

Thanks for advice

Not sure why this started all of a sudden though. Nothing changed.

Been looking for a replacement lift pump. Rear main seal was just swapped out

That’s interesting. There was an electric pump in the cab that wasn’t attached to anything when I bought truck. Removed it cause I didn’t know what it was for, and it wasn’t hooked up

Found 2 obvious areas of oil leaking on my 2.5 L diesel. One from lift pump. And one from transmission. Looks like I’m missing plugs for both? Please advise.

That’s what I thought. Anything to do with the fuel list pump?

Went for a ride this morning in woods, about 40miles from home via 2lane road, 55mph. On way home, at cruising speed, engine stalled, had very low power. Didn’t shut down. Was able to pull over, engine idled fine, and able to drive home without further issue. In effort to re-create scenario...

Following thread. I also have 2.5 NA 110. Drove to beach and back today, 70 miles each way on HWY, close to 90f air temp today. Cruised along I’m guessing at 60-62 (speedo out, I think I need a new cable). My temp gauge goes up similar to Northwind, but no symptoms otherwise. Heat coming...

Battery reads 12.54 volts. At idle speed, volt meter at 14.23. At higher rpm and with battery light blinking, volt meter runs as high as 14.8 volts. Alternator belt is in good repair
