What does the thermal switch on an 82 diesel LUV engine do? Mine has the wire(s) broken off, can it be replaced or fixed?

It shortens the glow cycle when the engine coolant is above a certain temp, the resin can be dug out around the wires and re-soldered on.

It does have a license plate so technically it is a street truck, that sets off car alarms and makes kids cry. lol

There are two. The other one is for fast idle.

Oz is exactly right. If the wires are broken, you get a full glow cycle whether you need it or not. And I used a Dremel do just as he said to repair mine.
