Are those readings with the GP harness plugged into the relay? they are about 50- 100 times too high, or off 2 decimal places. The good thing is that they are pretty consistent. I don't know what those values represent. they are not just the GP and the wire. I guess i'd say plug in the

Re: [MBZ] Fused

Those cheap ammeters are usually only good for 10 amps or less. A healthy glow plug draw about 20 amps initially and then (quickly) decrease to about 10 amps as the glow plug heats up. Odds are you will "blow" the ammeter or (if you are lucky) blow a fuse inside the ammeter. I can't believe

Re: [MBZ] Fused

OK so it looks like the relay is doing what it was designed to do. so it appears that there is a short between the plug through the harness and GPs to ground. If you don't want to do the ammeter test, another route, although a destructive test, is to make a short jumper wire to jump one pin

Hey Curt, I got my wife to cycle the ign switch between off and pre-glow (I'd never get from the switch to the relay by myself) as I moved a short pc of wire with alligator clips to the 5 different pins feeding the GPs. All 5 pins tested at 11.84v to 11.86v. I measured the battery and it

OK Curley, Sounds like I need to buy an Ammeter, but I will consider testing each GP position as you describe below. I'll go back and re-read your description of the Ammeter Test - but won't I keep blowing fuses that way too, or does the Ammeter prevent that? Thanks again, LarryT On

Re: [MBZ] Fused

Ammeters are easily destroyed by over-current situations. They're either fused, like my go-to Fluke 83, whose fuse is much _more_ expensive than the GP relay fuse, or even a cheap meter, or the meter itself _is_ the fuse! A car battery is easily capable of supplying 1000A into a dead short, the

yes, the ammeter test will blow fuses too, if you feed it from the relay. If you feed it directly from the battery, the life of no fuse will be subjected to live testing. ( A spoof on animal testing of cosmetics, etc.) Note: the ammeter test was posted by fmiser. Larry Turner via Mercedes
