Hi Folks
I need your help please on my Defender 90 with 300tdi conversion done by previous owner. Engine starts up without any issue but exhaust emit lots of smoke on start up only.
I thought to check up the glow plugs power. When I switch on the ignition, glow plugs light doesn’t illuminate on the dash board. I have also checked with a multimeter there is no voltage on the glow plugs (Yellow/black) wire with ignition switch on.
But when I start the engine then glows plugs light illuminates for a fraction of a second. There is no Glow plug relay under the bonnet and I can’t find Glow plug relay anywhere. When it try to trace the wiring backwards, Glow plug wire (Yellow/black) wire has connected with a Brown/red wire and that Brown/Red wire is coming from the main harness which goes straight into the fuse box. But from the fuse box it is going up somewhere into the dash board and not visible.
I am just wondering if that is how it normally sets up on a conversation? How do I supposed to know if glow plugs are getting the power when it requires?
