Glow plug timer bypass

In this video i share how to bypass a faulty glow plug timer with a customizable, simple to use and cheap setup.

This video is not a comprehensive guide on the correct way to do anything, it's only a rough guide of how i did it.

Don't use this method if your vehicle is under warranty or you are not confident carrying out auto electrical work.

Oh yeah...
I've been postponing buying the 4 glow plug controllers I need for my 6.2L projects.
Thank you for posting.

Cheers mate. Someone engine swapped a isuzu into the Defender I just bought and didn't bother with the glowplug timing kit. They were on constantly when the ignition was on. Plugs still worked after thousands of miles to be fair. I've ordered the bits for this setup.

WOW...I have problems like your model; the ignition key turned ON the heat glow orange light on-off for half a second. Now your idea I follow you I do same GREAT THANK YOU.

Don't forget to add fuses to your work. 60Amp between Glow Plugs and an 80Amp relay. 7.5Amp fuse inline with the switch. And you should be good to go.

thanks, watch and got some idea on how to wire glow plugs

[Erin-jkii]

Hi there on your diagram you have put glow plugs switch and dash light in two different places but doesn't your glow plug switch light up ?

I have Nissan Terrano G3M-R
With the same issue, how do I apply the same

[benhuntly]

Hey mate can I wire it up to the ignition so I don't need to push the button on the dash to start the timer

[daleberry]

Mate this system is right up my alley my problem is well I’ve put all the wire to each point but I don’t know where the wires go to the actual timer I got timer through alie pretty much same as the one on here so one side grd, sign the other side has5to30volts or vin I think out + out- ground. Now I have no idea what goes where the wire goes from one side to other side of the timer all the wires except the wires shown on your clip of it please I would appreciate your help

My son has an 2002 diesel Prado and when it is cold it is hard to start. When the ignition is turned on the dash Glow Plug light only issuminates for 1 second. DOes this mean that the Glow Plug times in the ECU is not working properly.

[michaeldaly]

Thanks for this WD ... ? possible to/how to wire this delay unit downstream from a photo-electric module to keep a 12v light on for several hours.

[farrukhqamar]

I used this setup but my relay burnt out while the power specs of my timer circuit were same. Can you please tell me if I need to have the relay which should support 80 maps and 12 volts for timer circuit which would trigger the glow plug relay ?

[vauny]

Can I connect a cable to the battery positive run it threw a switch on my dash then from switch to the glow plugs positive connections, I have 4 cylinder diesel van, my glow light only illuminates for 2 seconds then goes off engine will not start in temperatures below 2c

[brianrushworth]

Great post, can anyone tell me what the meter reading should be when I attach the live probe to the end of the glow plug once the ignition is switched on.
Thanks in advance

My car Toyota Qualis even after started the glow plug is on for another 4, 5 minutes, kindly suggest a remedy

[fjoemr]

[brendoncooper]

[solomonchief]

It turns them on, and doesn't turn them on sometimes even with after playing the switch on and off
