I guess it would matter if you have to pay 2.5 hours labor to get to the point where you can make a resistance measurement on #3 only to find out the bad plug is really #4 which takes another 30 minutes to access. Could get kind of expensive if this isn't warranty work.



Takes about 10 seconds to get to the point you can make a resistance measurement,

pull the connector - it's got 4 pins - measure pin to ground - 3 will be ~ .5 to 1 ohm, 1 will be way off - trace the wire on the way off to a cap - pull the cap - re measure to confirm you got the right one - it should now be open.

you may not be able to get to cyl 3 easily - mine has always been 2 - 4 doesn't look that hard

Well I can vouch for Brickman Dodge Jeep of Antigo Wisconsin, pretty good diesel mechanic that
works on the cummings trucks there. The dealership has sold a few CRD's but he works on them
occasionally, but the reason the number 1 glowplug replacement and module by another dealership
did not work, and the code 1261 continued to show up was..................................................previously
posted here also, the wiring harness was reversed from factory, so that when #1 showed up, it was
actually #4. Of course had I taken it there first, they probably would have tested #1 and found it
to be good, and then they would have dug deeper to try to figure out the real issue. So I have
two new glow plugs a new harness and module--only two more to go now. Light has stayed out.
So even though I have seen others on this report the wiring harness is backwards, I thought surely
it does not happen that much, seems it can happen often. Testing the resistance of the glowplug is
a must as part of troubleshooting this issue.
