Ok elect boffins can any1 help wen i start the little MAV ,and its runnin i can hear a relay comin in and out and the volt meter drops from bout 14 to 10-12 and wen ya have the lights on they dim aswell ...................But once it runs for a minute or so it stops
does it only do it wen the motor is cold Dan ??? maybe it is just keeping the plugs hot on startup so that the motor can start up and gett running easily ???
I'm assuming it's a diesel - the Glow plug timer receives infor from a number of sources - water temp is one of them. During the cooler months, of course the timer will remain on longer to heat the plugs - run a test light on the plugs to see if the timer shuts off after a time. Also check the continuity of the plug to see if it's stuffed. The timer will light the plugs up everytime you start the vehicle, hot or cold.
