Keyswitch?


I just installed this kit on my daughter's 240D. Makes starts much easier. Before, she use to have to glow the engine at least twice to get it started. Now it starts after glow light goes out everytime. If I can get ahold of it during daylight again, I'll take some pics.

Basic install on the 240D is to run a battery wire from the starter to the Relay/controller. I also used fuseable link at the starter to be safe. Run the other terminal on the relay/controller to the firewall glowplug fuse. Leave the other side running to the glow plug as your first link to the new glowplugs and then use the included jumpers to jumper from glowplug to glowplug. Run the included harness in the kit inside the car going through an unused grommet and tie the wires in to the old glowplug relay/controller harness leaving the old relay (under the dash/column) disconnected.
