Sounds as if you have been converted to parallel glow plugs, and have
one out or a blown fuse. There is a fuse on the firewall in a small
box on the later series glow plugs systems, and I think it stays in
place with the parallel converstion.

So-it had new glow pugs two years ago-they don't have the toaster
wires but
have red insulated wire running between them-sure looks like series to
me-given my limited knowledge of electricity. I looked for fuse-don't

any listed.
With regular insulated wires, it's likely you have a
Thanks Jim
I think you are right-I have a converted parallel system. Will start with that
separate fuse box on the firewall. Weekend project when it warms up.

I seem to have had a failure on eh GP system on the 240D today. Stared fine
early this AM at 4F with double glow, half-pedal etc. About 3 hours later
when I came out of my morning meeting , no glow light came on when I turned
the key-so assuming that the engine was warm enough (at 12F-duh) I

P.S. Just joking... Can't you disconnect all of them and wire them
one at a time and see which one is drawing all that juice?
Yeah, unplug the harnes at the relay, and run battery positive through
an ammeter to the pins in the connector one at a time.
Im 99% sure I have 80A fuses. I will doublecheck though. The so if I
had a shorted plug it should read less resistance than the others? All
of mine read the same. Which I believe was 1 ohm, can that be right? I
think even new plugs I tested read 1 ohm

On one of my SDL's I noticed it blew the glow plug fuse. I replaced it,
turned key on, it blew again. I checked all the glow plugs
Kaleb,
I'm not much with electrical stuff, but I do know this: If one plug broke,
and another is shorted, and assuming they are all about the same age, why
not replace them all and be done with it for a while. Otherwise, the one
that is about to break will do the same thing in a few months,
I realized I may have made a mistake here.
My 617 plugs draw a bit over 20 amps when cold,
quickly dropping to around 14A as they heat up.
I have no idea how much current Kaleb's 603 plugs
should draw.
at the very bottom is a box to enter your email address in to get
password, change delivery etc, its the list box/button on the bottom.

The wierd thing is the one that was broke looked brand new, like it was
just installed not too long ago.
Was it Bosch, Breu, or junk?
If not junk, I wonder if that cylinder eats plugs.
