On the verge of exploding... - RePT - 10-04-2013

Its a shame the cars a diesel, otherwise that would be first.

After replacing my glow plug relay a few days ago, Ive apparently managed to pop it again. RESULT.

Now, ive got a multi meter handy, could someone tell me how I can check to be sure its popped?

Thanks..

Get the meter on the glow plug rail and turn on the ignition. The reading should be 12v on all the plugs for about 20 seconds. You should then hear the relay click and the voltage drop to zero.

+ or - on the plug rail? Also, my relay clicks when ever it feels like it. Even when the cars off tt will tick :/

+ve on the rail and -ve on the battery/good earth. If it is clicking like mad then it may well be fubar but meter it out to be sure. I have one here if you need it, can't post it out till the weekend though.
