Aloha

After several years of having multiple old wagons I seem to have an accumulation of 3 or 4 old glow plug relays that don't work. I wondered if anyone know how to repair them or knows of anyone who does?

Also, I have a couple of 123 fuel sensor sending units with broken wires. Does anyone know where I could get new wire to replace the broken ones?


As always, we have a b&b on the Island of Moloka'i and would love to do an exchange with a mechanic with lots of experience working on the 300 td wagon. I am just a week end warrior and am sure our cars could benefit from some good maintenance and adjustment....Anyone ready for an adventure vacation in Hawaii?

I think it is going to depend on what is wrong with the GP Relays. You will need to look inside and see if the Contact Points are fried/burned up. If so from what I have read there is no replacements.

After that if you can locate any Electical Component that appears Burned; that might be replaced.
After that I simply don't know enough about Electrioncs to test those type of Components.
Unless you are well trained in Electronics I am guessing it is going to be time consuming to the extent that if You could work a couple of Hours overtime you could buy a New Relay.

I soldered one end of the tiny wire back to the body of the fuel sensor many years ago and its still working. It took an extra set of hands and some patients.
