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.

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 convert

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.

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 turn
OK, you should be fixed now.

Was it Bosch, Breu, or junk?
If not junk, I wonder if that cylinder eats plugs.

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?
hatever it
is divide that by 6 and each plug shuld draw less than that.

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.
Kaleb,
I'm not much with electrical stuff, but I do know this: If one plug broke,

not replace them all and be done with it for a while. Otherwise, the one

If you have a 20A or better scale.
My 20A meter shows overload on a single plug at first, then quickly drops
under 15A as the plug heats up.
cool, thanks

Kaleb, most mutimeter can only handle 10 amps and will fry if you find

yes, it does in fact sound like an eletrical problem.
That is an idea, not sure if it will work or not.
