W115 salt shaker too hot too fast
Hey all I have a 73 220d. This is my first post here. I have done a bit of searching on this topic but no cases arise quite like mine. And have checked over many forum and search platforms. (Too many names for this indicator made it hard to search..)
I recently had to replace the entire glow plug control or salt shaker as some call it due to a broken filament. It would randomly get too hot too fast and for cold starts or even a warm start- and when it didn't heat up fast earlier.. Very random.
I replaced it- but the filament gets too hot too fast. This is as if I have been holding the plugs to get warmer for a few minutes- but happens almost instantly- which will cause my filament to break again. (And cannot start the car for fear of this)
I searched online and the engine bay for the location of the glow plug relay- could not find it- nor could I find it in my w115 manual- also I have read there is no fuse on my car for it? That didn't sound right though?
The only thing that I think it could possibly be is a bad ground somewhere or the fuse has somehow fused?- wanted to ask here first incase it is an easier fix than chasing wires.. And replacing different parts of the system..
Please let me know on thoughts!
