Blinking Glow plug light
 

It is that season of the year agai.
Texas late spring thunder storms. I was caught in a storm the other day with the 116d which has a leaky windshield. Apparently something got wet and the alternator stopped charging. Now the glow plug light blink upon turning the car on and the engine does not start (even with a fully charged battery).

What does that blinking means?

How is your glow plug relay fuse? Any loose connections to Glow Plugs?

how you check that. Where is the glow plug relay in a 300SD 116?

Not going to be worth a darn about location:o But there was a post some time ago about the box it's in filling with water on another members 116

i am not any help with the relay either. but when my GP light was blinking on my 116 a few of the GP's were bad. i would say unless your in a cold climate right now and atleast 2 of your GP's are bad (one of them being the number one cyl) the car should eventually start.
