Ive recently bought a 1994 GQ TD42 ute and noticed when its cold its hard to start and the glow light doesnt light up on the dash and the relay doesnt click in,ive checked all fuses none are blown so im thinking its the glow plug relay gone.
any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers Ian

Hay mate put a test light on the glow plug wiring while you glow it , to see if has power at the glow plugs Cheers Rick.

Some cars need glowing twice.when.they get older as well so maybe turn key to on for 5 seconds then off and repeat before.starting. if the relays working that is

On the GQ wait for a second click,dash light/globe could be blown.
