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.

In that case, you may well have a blown fusible link.

Don't think there is one, nothing running from the positive battery terminal.

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!.

Hi you might have blown the wire from the relay to the GP rail :idea:
