Hi Chris,

take a look at the following URL
http://www.boten.nl/motoren/
There are some manuals of perkins diesel engines, the second of the List
contents a wiring diagram. Maybe 12VHandbook on the same site will help you
to understand the wiring.

Electrical connections of a diesel engineare very easy to understand:
There are heating elements inside the diesel engine. They are connected
direct to the battrey via a relais, witch is operated by central switch.
Starting motor is conncted direct to the battery via a bis relais or
selenoid unit. This unit is operated by central switch too. So there should
be two big wires from main battery to heating relais and starting motor. Two
small wires will lead from the central switch to the heating relais and to
the starter. If you connect the first wire with 12Vplus, heating of diesel
engine should operate. If you connect the second wire to 12Vplus, starter
should start running.
