Another glowplug/relay problem!!
Hi Guys, Had an accident with the glowplug rail and earthed it out. Dash light comes on and off as normal. It is a 2000 2.5, there isnt a fuse wire from positive battery connection (revision i guess) so my question is will it short out the relay or is there a fuse inbetween? I can't see anything in the bongo and I can't see anything in the members area.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Fusible link - see http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... nk#p271645 and other threads - just search for fusible AND link

Re: Another glowplug/relay problem!!
In that case, you may well have a blown fusible link.

Don't think there is one, nothing running from the positive battery terminal.francophile1947 wrote:In that case, you may well have a blown fusible link.

Re: Another glowplug/relay problem!!
Again thanks for the replys, realy appreciate the help. I've now checked all the fuses and they seem fine. I have got a replacement relay on the way, I can only think it's fused itself into the off position, but then maybe the dashlight wouldnt light up!!??!! Ah well I will have a better idea when the relay arrives!.
