[Vwdiesel] No glow ....

[Derek]

Yup, that's the motor and I think I may have solved the problem.  I'll try to confirm tomorrow.  I am sure its the glow plug temperature sender.  It makes perfect sense.  With my switch hooked up ( a wire literally is wound on the terminal that SHOULD be grounding to make the whole thing go like its supposed to  ... ) it works fine.  So, I am simulating the ground that the relay should be seeing from the temp sender, but isn't.  I guess the light on the dash is also somehow connected to this sender ?  The great thing about all this, is the fact that now that I know how it is all wired and supposed to work.  I can hook up an intercept switch to prevent the GP's from turning on in the summer when they are hardly needed ....

  If yours is the 1.9TD (AAZ) I imagine that your relay is the same as the 1.6TD relay and so the tests would be the same.  I do have the Haynes for that model/year, but it is on the shelf in the garage, and shucks, I'm in my PJ's.  Tomorrow I'll check, if noone else kicks in first.
