Glow system not working
Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2014 6:00 pm
Hi guys,
My glow system isn't engaging when I go to start the van up. It worked fine a week ago with the standard two clichs, then a few days ago - nothing.
It starts fine when the block heater is plugged in, and the battery is reading 12.7 V.
Took out all the glow plugs - oily but them seem to look fine after I cleaned them up. Took everything that's a part of the system to see what's stopping the clicks form happening. All looks fine to me, but I would love some other opinions/suggestions.
I'm pretty sure it's not the temp sensor, as even with a hot engine the glow system worked (it just clicked twice super quickly).
All help is appreciated! I'm in fernie, otherwise she would have been in the shop by now :)
(also super not tech savy - i've learned all this these past few days from scouring the boards)
