Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Grid Heater Direct to Battery Question

[DavidNH]

ARGGGGGG... can't spend 3 days searching the forum to this extremely simple question:

1995 grid heater has two posts: do both receive (+) from batt and ground through engine, or is one (-) and the other (+)? Sorry guys, I looked for the answer but don't have all day to find it.

Both are positive, Im almost 100% sure. Im sure someone else will add their 2 cents, but since there are 2 grid heaters in the system, Im pretty sure that each post is for a separate grid heater.

Thanks for that, evidence would suggest that both receive (+) given what wires are left and how they are bundled. FordCummins, is that you Roger? I spoke to you over the phone a few months ago about adaptors for a Chevy. You may not remember me, but you chuckled when I told you I had a 6. 2 with a leaky water pump, so I was converting it to Cummins power for that reason. (and a long list of others) Thanks again for the timely guidance.

Nope, I probably should change my username here... ... . Ironically, Roger from FordCummins.com also has a 1999 Cummins powered F350 DRW Crew Cab. I did buy my bellhousing adapter from him however.

That is correct.
