96 1.9td won't turn off - no glow plug light. - pankyone
Hi Guys..
My P reg 1.9td Wont Turn Off? No Glow plug Lights.. No immobilizer lights

I had a problem where over night the battery went flat for no reason. the relay unit next to the pump reset switch was making lots of clicking sounds. I have managed to restart the car, however the car wont turn off?

I have been told it could be a bad earth to the engine?
Also when i reconnect the battery the glow plugs warm up(no light on the dash to say the pre heat is working) which also indicates a bad earth? i am going to clean the earth straps and connections to see if this helps.
All earth leads and connections nice and clean and covered in copper grease.
I seem to think after checking the earths they are all ok and make a good connection. i feel that the problem is the BLACK BOX at the back of the Battery box. see the pictures

This was clicking like mad when i first had the problem. i think it may have burnt it self out? i am not sure what it does either.
I feel like a newbie. How I loved my Cortina, Escort and Imp

Thanks for any info that can help
Peter

thats the glow plug relay, it has been known for the nuts to work loose and the higher resistance caused in the wires to damage the relay, which could well be the cause of your issues, most certainly the dash light not coming on. once replaced it should solve your issues, should be able to find one in a scrap yard easy enough if you don't want to run to the cost of a new one

Hi Chris

Thanks for the info. i will head for the scrap yard tomorrow.

Would this also solve the solenoid problem as well?
