1.6 T/D Glow plug fuse

Post by Snag20 »

Working on my poor starting/running T25.

I seem to have NO current reaching the glow Plugs.

Where is the fuse for these? silly question but what does it look like ?

Also concearned that the wire attached to the Glow plug Buz bar is very thin, the one on my MK1 Caddy pick up was of a much greater guage.
What colour should this wire be ? ( the engine has been changed by a previous owner and it been a poor/non starter since, so maybe wired incorrectly!)

cheers

Black box in engine bay should have 50A fuse in.
Relay is in same box unless you have a very early one where it will be screwed to the formost edge of the engine bay.
Wire is red with a black trace from memory.
