I have replaced batteries starter and relay. Also I tried a different controller that is located on the right rear side of motor. | | |

If you just want to get it started, first plug in the block heater (if you have one) to get it good and warm, then put a jumper between the battery and the glow plugs for about 15 seconds - then crank. | | |
