battery drain help!
Hi all does anyone know of any problems that could cause battery drain after a glow plug change? The glow plug rail is NOT touching earth I have already checked this. Any advice greatly appreciated
Re: battery drain help!
Put a test lamp or meter on the glow plug rail and make sure its on and off at the correct time, I have known the relay to stick on but on some Peugeots if a temp sensor fails it keeps the glow plugs on for ages after the engine starts and burns the glow plugs out.
I woul also check the obvious stuff lights on, little invertyer left plugged in etc
