Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

glow plug fuse?

Post by Miloki »

Delica wouldn't start this morning - no "click, click" of the glow plugs turning on and off. Turns over beautifully, but no heat to start her up :-( I'm hoping it's just a fuse, but can't find anything to tell me where the fuse would be... any ideas?

As the general consensus appears to be that I do not know what I'm talking about, and cause more harm than good, I am removing this post so that others are not tricked in to following my ill-advised instructions.

In addition to Green1's observation I might suggest looking into our reference library; found in "Delica Canada Technical/FAQs & Downloads/Delica Downloads". Here's the link to "Engine Electrical", which amongst other things covers the glow plugs (near the end):

thanks for the tips and the links. I have a multi-meter, I guess now I'll get to sit down and figure out how to use it!

Hi Miloki,
Have you seen Mystery Machine's guide here - http://www.delica.ca/forum/glow-plug-cicuit-271.html
If you really want to get into the diagnostics that's pretty much all you will need.
Got my own glow plug issues (see my new thread : :-D ) so that's been a good help to me recently!

Please post up when you figure out what happened.
I've been driving with a manual override switch for a month...(no time to track down what's wrong).
