TAKE THE GLOW PLUG OUT, WHERE THE WIRE GOES ON THE TOP. WRAPP SOME WIRE AROUND IT, PUT THE PLUG IN SOME PLYERS PUT THE WIRE ONTO TO THE + THEN PUT THE PLUG ONTO THE - TERMINAL, THE END OF THE GLOW PLUG SHOULD GLOW WITHIN SECONDS IF IT WORKS
DO THIS TO EACH ONE

each one should take 8 amps .wire a large ampmeter in series and check the current drawn should be approx. 32
