Is this "test light" a standalone test light separate from the cluster glow light? Here's the entire post which I do not understand:
"Glow plug light on means you have a short circuit at one or more of the glow plugs this conditioneans none of your glow plugs will assist with starting. When you installed the connection wires on your engine they must be printed down if not when the intake manifold is nstalled the manifold will cause shorts."
First, what is " printed down "?
This is the way I understand how the glow system works:
cluster glow plug light on indicates all glow plugs tested fine.
If there's a short circuit at one or more glow plugs, it will blow the glow relay fuse and the glow system no longer works.
If one or more glow plugs is burned out (open circuit), there's a circuit inside the glow plug relay that will detect it and the cluster glow plug light will be switched off, and no longer lights up at the preglow process.
