glow plug light not lighting up jx

[bowesy]

as my van is off road at the moment its not getting used frequnetly i went out to start it up the other day and i noticed the glow plug light didnt illuminate but it fired up first turn it started really well considering not being used is it likely to be the relay or the dash?

If it's anything like mine it will just be the dash. My led wasn't even knackered, just needed a 'jiggle' and it worked fine. I had left it not working for nearly a year and a half before I had a look at it.

PCB and multiconnector is a good call, but are you sure it's cold enough to be cycling the glow plugs?

i did wonder if it was because it was warm the glowplug light didnt come on but it started fine etc i will try it again over weekend and see if it comes on as it worked last week thanks for the replies much appreciated

you could check by disconnecting the temperature sensor (white/blue wire) to the glow plug relay - it should then be on maximum cycle time.

well i went out and tried it again tonight and at first it didnt light up so had a fiddle with the top of the dash and it came on i must have dislodged something when i took the headlight switch out thanks for all replies much appreciated
