Hi guys,
My glow system isn't engaging when I go to start the van up. It worked fine a week ago with the standard two clichs, then a few days ago - nothing.
It starts fine when the block heater is plugged in, and the battery is reading 12.7 V.
Took out all the glow plugs - oily but them seem to look fine after I cleaned them up. Took everything that's a part of the system to see what's stopping the clicks form happening. All looks fine to me, but I would love some other opinions/suggestions.
I'm pretty sure it's not the temp sensor, as even with a hot engine the glow system worked (it just clicked twice super quickly).
All help is appreciated! I'm in fernie, otherwise she would have been in the shop by now :)
(also super not tech savy - i've learned all this these past few days from scouring the boards)

To be honest Im not sure.. I've havent had to look for mine yet. But I'm sure there is one. Start by looking at the fuse panel on the driver's side and see if any are burnt out. There should also be a fuse or two at or near the battery.. check those too.
