Thanks for the suggestion - but since this is my first diesel - and many
others but me drive it - (I own a limo and bus company and frequently send a
driver down the road in it to get 10 hours of rest before I show up and let
them relieve me and I drive back) I better not do anything too quirky or

Or you can just live with it. Light is simply a timer which estimates the
required glow time, relay keeps providing power until it reaches the safety
time out or you start the engine.

When I got home from work today - I checked again and still no glow light
and no power to the glow plugs. I hooked up a charger to the battery
although it seemed fine I have been messing around with it for a couple days

OKay - I'm sure two of the ones I removed were shot cause with a quick test
they didn't glow at all. I hope none of the new ones are bad - but this is

The light is hooked to a temperature-sensitive timer.
Caps in the timer can age and fail, as could, I suppose,
the thermistor. You'd be diving into the GP relay to
do component tests to diagnose it at that level.
