[AT] Off Topic Need component location on truck

[Cecil R Bearden]

Thanks Bruce, I will look for it as soon as it gets light.  I spent most 
of yesterday trying to get a 96 Dodge w/ Cummins to start in 35 deg.   
After installing new Batteries and reworking the cables that ware 
corroded, It would turn over faster but not start.   I finally reached 
under the shutoff solenoid and pulled it closed and it started 
immediately. The solenoid will hold but not pull.    This truck has been 
parked where it seems to attract mice & rats.  It also has been run with 
older weak batteries for the last year.  When the outside temp got below 
40 deg it would not start.    I don't see how this would affect the 
solenoid for the pump....    I probably will use a kill cable with a 
spring and forget the solenoid.  Or run a wire from battery to the 
solenoid with a push button switch to make the solenoid actuate.   As I 
get older, I have les and less patience with electrical controls that 
work intermittently.  I like manual..........  I don't have the ability 
to crawl over and under and around engines in the compartment like I did 
5 years ago...
