Re: Glow plug light flickering

Hi Winniebongo

Sorry to hear your still having issues, hope you manage to sort it soon.
I say cleaning and checking as many connections as you can can't be a bad thing, no easy feat on a bongo!..

Re: Glow plug light flickering

Quick update
I've checked and cleaned all terminals and connectors on battery relay and temp sensor on block.. Tightened them all up and made sure battery fully charged..

So far so good so hopefully was just some dodgy connections..
