Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / July 2006350 SDL Glow Plug Light
Just replaced all glow plugs in this SDL with 76000 miles, haven't had car but a few weeks, it appeared that the plugs that came out were new. The dash light works properly on occasion but other times it doesn't come on and will come on after car is cranked, it will stay on for a few seconds and go off. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Frank You may need to reeplace the glow plug relay. Mine would come on after driving for a while when all the glow plugs checked good.

What's the cost of the relay?

A square cover that comes off to expose the wires that go to each glow plug. I think it was $160?

I've only driven a little since the work was done hopefully my problem is solved. Thanks Frank > It is on the drivers' side of the engine compartment at the front of the > wheel well.
