It should come on when you first turn the key to run to indicate that the glow circuit is heating the prechambers then turn off to indicate that you can turn the key to start. If it stays on or comes on when the engine is running... uhh... I don't know what that means but something's not right.

Is it yellow or amber colored, and look like a looped spring? If so, it's the glow plug indicater.

Please describe your problem so you can get good answers.

it means you have a faulty plug(s) or relay.
