I have been fixing European cars since I was a lad. I am past retirement age and still going at it. I have had cars that really should have been junked and little by little, I made them into usable cars. This one will be no exception. I love learning about the different philosophies of manufacture and function. This is a great car. Will be even better when I am done.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] No start today

 

Dead glow plugs will cause the light not to light.  I assume the flat fuse at the end of the relay box is intact,clean and tight.  The fastest way to check the glow plugs is with a continuity tester.  Disconnect the plug in the relay box and check for continuity between the wire at the head of the glow plug and ground.  This won't tell you how good the plug is, but it will tell you if it is working at all.

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.

Today I had time to do some preliminary checks. terminal 4 on the relay is the switched input through, I thing, fuse 14. Fuse was good and I did find 12 volts when the key was on. I pried the relay open and found it to be in visibly good condition. Points were bent, so I straightened them just a little, but no arcing or pitting. I saw the light flicker a few times as I fiddled.
Would dead glow plugs cause no light? Big fuse is intact, but looks old. When I go to the pencil glow plugs, I will put a new one in.

Yeah, one of your little loops in your loopy glow plug circuit has opened, and shut down the whole system.  In this case, to paraphrase, one bad loop spoils the whole bunch, and, yes, the light in the dash will not come on, or, at most, will give just a quick flicker.
