So my mechanic told me my glow plugs are all dandy but their relay or timing or whatever gets them running when I turn the key isn’t working well. His solution was to install a momentary switch on the steering wheel which probably just turns on the glow plugs.
He put in this sort of double fuse where one wire from it goes to the momentary switch and from there probably to the glow plugs. The second wire goes to an EGT gauge to power it continuously.
Problem is that when I try to activate the glow plugs it almost consistently blows out one of the fuses on this double-fuse contraption. This renders the EGT gauge inactive as well.
Is this an electrical wiring problem? A weird fuse setup problem? A glow plug problem?
This is leading to me constantly losing my entire battery charge trying to start the car with no glow plugs.
In the photo: the double fuse thing.
