Glow, glow plugs
85 300TDT
I hate to say it but my wagon seems to have a new problem each week. This weekend its the glow plugs. I noticed the dash light stopped coming on while doing errands on Thursday. No problem because the car was already warm and it kept starting. Then, on Friday morning, with no dash light -> no glow -> no start. I probably cranked it too long so now I'm worried about the battery. On Saturday I did the resistance test on the glow plugs and all plugs were too high. I replaced the four plugs that I could reach. The fuse in the relay is fine. Finally got it started. Now the problem is the glow plugs don't get power every time I turn the key. The dash light seems to be a good indicator of when the glow plugs are getting power. This is what happens: I turn the key and the dash light doesn't turn on. I wait until I hear the relay click. Then I turn the ignition off, then immidiately back on again and this time the dash light turns on. Any ideas? Thanks Rich
