The push button is under the dash on the left so I can push the button with my left hand and turn the key with my right. I can glow, after glow, or not glow, the control is mine, its a straight forward system with little to go wrong.  |
I did the same with the solenoid and push button switch on my 6 cyl 82 Volvo diesel way back in 96. It is simple, cheap, and it works.
I have replaced several glow plugs since then but do not feel it has been exccesive. But, the winters are not cold where I am in CA.
