Earth point

Post by Tom lyons » Sun Jun 27, 2021 5:43 pm

Had a dodgy earth so used my jump lead To go from main battery to engine block to see if it was the connection in the engine bay was bad,l connected the jump lead to what I thought was an earth strap turned out to be the glow plug rail ,I turned the engine over for about 3 secs smoke around the battery connection switched off,Now when I try to start the engine turns over great but does not start Glow plug relay works ok ,but not sure if I have a supply to the input side of the relay. Has anyone got any ideas what I may have done

You have blown the fusible link https://bongoland.co.uk/product/fusable-link/ it won't have done the relay much good either.
