Re: [MBZ] 1983 Glow Relay (no glow) update

2011-10-17 Thread Michael Canfield
Argh!  All this and now mine is acting up.  Light is intermittent, relay
is clicking, all glow plugs feel warm to the touch after cycling.  Was very
hard to start this morning.
  Guess I will test the glow plugs and go from there.  Due for fuel filters
and a valve adjusment as well.

Re: [MBZ] 1983 Glow Relay (no glow) update No Light No Glow

2011-10-02 Thread Peter Hertzing
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
someone is going to be somewhere south of the middle of nowhere and kill the
battery cranking without the benefit of glow.  I have everyone trained to
turn the ignition to the on position and then buckle there seatbelt adjust
the seat and then crank.  Seems to work.

At least know one has killed the battery yet.

 No relay for sale here, but I posted a solution back on 11/2/10 
- bypass the MB relay with a fender mounted starter relay of the Ford

BTW, SWMBO and I have been driving MB Diesels for 32 years; several months 
ago, we had just gotten into one of the cars, and as I was starting it, I 
said something about the glow light - either it was a bit short or a bit 
long - 'don't remember.  SWMBO asked, "What glow light?"  I replied, "That 
little yellow light right there at the far, lower right corner of the 
instrument cluster - the one you were supposed to have been using for the 
last 32 years."  She replied, "Oh, I just wait for the buzzer to quit." 
'Must've been talking about the belt buzzer.  I replied, "Well, I guess 
that's been working pretty good for it, too.  'Just so you don't start 
grinding on the starter immediately as you insert the key."  She doesn't.

Or you can just live with it.  Light is simply a timer which estimates the

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.

Oh, I forgot. It might just be that the new ones draw more or less current than 
the old ones, that would make the current comparison circuit decide you had a 
bad plug. If you do the ammeter trick with the glow plug harness at the relay 
end you can see if they all draw the same.


If it is the relay, I'd only replace a relay for poor light function if I had 
another spare relay laying around. (assuming it still powers the plugs for about 
30 seconds, and assuming that everybody who drives the car can count to 20 or 30)

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
so I figured it can't hurt. Then I played with the fuse and tapped the relay
and such - and now the light comes on for about 2 seconds but It seems to be
glowing normally.
So
Any reason the light only comes on for a few seconds?
Otherwise starts nice and smooth.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help
