Glow Plugs Timer ? (KZ)
Kan iemand my dalk sê of daar iewers op `n KZ `n sensor is wat die temparatuur van die engin meet en sodoende die tyd wat die Glow Plugs aan bly beheer ?
My glow plugs kry net krag vir so 2 sekondes, maak nie saak hoe koud dit is nie. Die bakkie begin sukkel om te start as dit koud is.
Ek het die battery getoets by battrie center, hy is 100%.

Re: Glow Plugs Timer ? (KZ)
Sover ek verstaan werk die Gloplugs met n relay en meet nie die temp nie. Kan verkeerd wees...

Re: Glow Plugs Timer ? (KZ)
The actual "pigtail" light on the dash stays on only for a few seconds, 2 or so, but if you listen nicely you'll hear the relay click a few more secs after the light has gone off on the dash. On colder days it stays on longer and hear hear it click. But if it's battling to start on cold mornings, maybe you should replace the glowplugs - easy job, hope you come right,

On my previous diesel I wired an LED with the appropriate resistor straight from the glow plug power bar to see how long the glow plugs stay on. On the Mazda the two also worked independantly, why I don't know.

Re: Glow Plugs Timer ? (KZ)
Dankie manne. Ek het gister getoets en die Glow Plugs bly baie langer aan as die liggie.
Ek sal vandag die Glow Plugs vervang.

That sounds like a great idea, but how . . . . . ? Please give more detail.3RZ wrote:On my previous diesel I wired an LED with the appropriate resistor straight from the glow plug power bar to see how long the glow plugs stay on. On the Mazda the two also worked independantly, why I don't know.

Re: Glow Plugs Timer ? (KZ)
did it start nicely after you waited for the relay to click? if it does then there is no need to replace glow plugs just be patient and wait for the click

Nope, still the same.
Didn't get time to to get the Glow Plugs yesterday. Will make a plan today.

Re: Glow Plugs Timer ? (KZ)
I'd leave it as is, just listen for the click, it's so audible anyway, also you'll see the dash lights go slightly brighter after the click, then you know she's ready to be fired up, easy as pie.JJBotes wrote:That sounds like a great idea, but how . . . . . ?

Re: Glow Plugs Timer ? (KZ)
Hi Guys.
80amp fuse is blown.
How do u get that fuse out, has 2 screws on either side of fuse but fuse leg on right is covered by the housing.
How does the housing clip out to get to that screw?
