3B glow plug not staying on (1 Viewer)

[kling-on]

ok so I have a 1984 BJ60 from Canada... the glow relay clicks on and off in he same second it starts .... the glow plugs get power with a test light and turn off... so I need to figure out what to Ck or replace nexted ... it's really slow to start and I'm sure it's the lack of glow ... any help would be great

Sounds like your timer or relay has gone out. Theres some good threads here about installing a Wilson Switch or you can hardwire it with a momentary switch like on a tractor.

Appears to be common.
Glad my recent import had an aftermarket switch already installed.
Try cycling a few times.
My BJ60 was doing the same thing. Then i realized whatthe silver button was for.
Be sure to pull your GPs amd inspect the resistamce.
