2002 Ford F-450 Super Duty Glow Plugs

Modern vehicles may have 100 or more electrical harness connectors in every operating system of the vehicle. Terminal tension may weaken with time or corrosion may occur within the connector housing making replacement necessary. When replacing any harness-connector assembly approved wire termination methods must be followed to ensure a successful and long-term solution to the original problem is made. A failed terminal connection, terminal corrosion or damaged wire will result in an electrical system fault.

Relays are electrical switches used to convert a small electrical load into a circuit capable of handling a high amperage load. Computers and small switches are not designed to carry the higher amperage requirement of a circuit that may have an electric motor, solenoid, or high amperage lighting fixture. Within a relay are contacts that are controlled with electromagnetism, when the circuit switch commands the device on or off, magnetism will pull or release the contact arm closing or opening the contacts within the relay that carry the voltage.

Product Features:

• Product constructed to meet all design and operating characteristics as intended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Computer-Aided Design (CAD), laser scanning and 3D printing – utilizing Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA) – in the part design process ensures speed-to-market and a precise fit guaranteed.
• Where applicable, robust circuit board design increases durability due to heat, shock, and random electro-magnetic pulses (EMP) and power spikes.
• Tin plated lead frame prevents corrosion and ensures a reliable terminal connection under adverse ambient conditions.
• 100% thermo-shock and vibration tested to ensure superior performance in extreme conditions.
• 100% end-of-line tested to ensure accurate signal output providing product reliability, every time.

An essential component in the diesel electronic control system, the glow plug control module interfaces with the vehicle’s powertrain control module to energize the glow plugs to assist with cold engine start-up. Failure can result in hard-starting and/or illumination of the engine malfunction indicator or check engine lamp.

Product Features:

• Original equipment fit, form and function
• Direct OE replacement
• No programming or reflash required

NGK metal glow plugs are trusted by OEM diesel engine manufacturers around the world to perform under the harshest conditions. NGK metal glow plugs are equipped with a heating coil in a glow rod made of heat-resistant magnesium oxide between the heating and regulating coils. Magnesium oxide is an outstanding thermal conductor (quickly dissipating heat), while protecting the heating coils from vibration and shock. NGK metal glow plugs feature excellent gas-tight sealing qualities that deliver superior electrical insulation and protection against combustion gas. NGKs metal composition helps reduce carbon accumulation to prevent short circuits, while the unique shell design provides excellent heat transfer.
