Question:
1993 Mercedes 300sd Diesel mileage: 124,000.
When I pull out the starter, the alternator light
is not glowing and the glow plugs are not working.
The engine is in great condition and the starter
works; my guess is that is electrical.
Can you help?
Answer:
Check the glow plugs and the control relay.
Question:
1995 Mercedes Benz 300SD mileage: 216,000. The
connections on my glow plug relay seem to be fried.
Is there a way to over ride the relay allowing me
to start the vehicle and then disconnect so as to not
burn it out?
I just need it to work for a few more days so til I can
get to the dealer to p/u a new one.
Answer:
Not a good idea to bypass the relay.
The glow plugs should be replaced with the relay.
Question: 1997
Mercedes Benz e300D mileage: 120,000. Do you know easy
way to check for bad glow plug...possibly grounding and
checking for a variance conductivity or resistance
between the other glow plugs?
Answer: Yes, you
are right about the test procedure. Also perform the
test with the engine cold. |
