[diesel_mercedes] Glow Plug Failure

 

In general the fast GP's don't last too long so think carefully before taking one of those steps that winds up with you hating the car.....


In any case prolly one failed and that kills the entire set on your earlier car .

It's simple and cheap to up grade to the parallel typ .

Your car uses the black GP relay under the hood on the forward end of the left inner fender .

It has an (?) 80 ampere strip fuse that rarely blows but occasionally gets loose or corroded .

The 77 240D let me down today. I went to leave work tonight and the
first turn of the key gave me a glow plug light. A short crank and it
tried to start. Went to re-run the glow plugs and NO LIGHT. Haven't seen
one since. Start by checking fuse 14?
What is the best way to determine where the open circuit is, or whether
my relay went south? I have one of the pricey metal can ones under the
dash. If it's dead, how easy is it to convert to a new style relay? I am
going to put fast glow plugs in anyways.
