I have a 2000 Ford Excursion 7.3 diesel 4x4 and I am receiving no power across the manifold heater solenoid with the ignition on (solenoid #1828565C1). The “check engine” light stays on. I can’t find a replacement solenoid at the Ford dealer. I replaced it with MR99 GP Sorensen from SMP Corp. Please advise. Thanks.
It doesen't work that way. This is out of the Ford PCED shop manual
To reduce white smoke during long idle periods at low ambient temperatures, the PCM will activate the intake air heater. Specific conditions must be present before the heater is activated:
ambient temperature must be below 0°C (32°F)
engine oil temperature (EOT) must be below 55°C (131°F)
vehicle power (IVPWR) must be between 11.8 and 15.0 volts
parking brake must be applied on manual transmission vehicles
the transmission must be in PARK or NEUTRAL on automatic transmission vehicles
glow plugs must be off

There is the key. When you turn on the key the glow plugs turn on. The intake air heater is not on when the glow plugs are for the simple reason that the batteries can only supply so much power.
You say your "check engine light" stays on. Do you mean your "wait to start light" stays on when you turn the key on or is it your "check engine light"?
