Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / September 2007Should glow plug light illuminate during bulb check?
I never ever see this light. Ambient temp is above 66F but I expected to see it when I first turn the key and all other lights illuminate for a few seconds. Do I have a bulb out on my new 2007 Ram? >I never ever see this light.

With the key off, press in the trip/odometer button and turn the key to the on position. Release the button. ALL the dash lights will all illuminate and the guages do a test dance. When its over, there will be error codes if necessary. FMB (North Mexico) >I never ever see this light.

I never see my coil light come on until around 15C (62F). I was told there are no more glow plugs, just coils. The coil light is in the 7 o'clock position on the dash, just below the tach. It looks like a little coil and is yellow. Wayne > I never see my coil light come on until around 15C (62F). I was told there > are no more glow plugs, just coils. Not even in the bulb self test when key is first turned to the on position? >> I never see my coil light come on until around 15C (62F).

I did not know there was a self test. It never came on most of the summer. It only comes on when it is cool outside, below 15C wayne > if the coil is needed, it will come on when I turn the key to on. I did not > know there was a self test. In most vehicles all the lights light up when the key is first turned on. It seems thats not so on Dodges. Only certain lights come on. However, doing the full test as FMB described does light up all lights. So now I know the coil bulb works! >> if the coil is needed, it will come on when I turn the key to on.

The full cluster test won't light up the 4X4 light on my '99 Ram but it comes on when I lock the transfer case.  SignatureKen >>>> if the coil is needed, it will come on when I turn the key to on.

Be sure to show your friends how to check their engine operating hours too. With the engine off and the key on, hold the odometer reset button for 10 seconds. That doesn't work on my '99 either. SignatureKen I think that only works on the diesels. Except my '99 diesel. SignatureKen >I think that only works on the diesels. > Except my '99 diesel. 134 hours on 8,000 KM . that is cool. Average 59.7 km / hour. Makes sense as most of our driving is on the highway. We have a PT for our day to day car. thks wj |
