The glow plugs themselves work fine and the engine starts with no problems. Glow plugs will not work correctly if they do not have the correct voltage running into them.
Glow plugs are in direct contact with combustion gases and temperatures at all times regardless of whether they're being used or not. A multimeter is a black box of electronic circuitry used to test electrical wiring or devices. Can anyone shed any light on this as it would be nice to have it working as well. Check with you might be able to download a copy of the service, owners and parts manual for a L175 or L185 that could be useful. Check your shop manual for your vehicle's test specs. These leads usually have metal clamps at the end of them. Remove the cover or cap in order to apply the multimeter clamps to the glow plugs.
With the thought that he could use either he had given up. I measured the voltage across it and it's around 1. If not, the coil is bad. Should it still read 12Volts in a perfect system? This article has over 268,560 views and 98% of readers who voted found it helpful, earning it our reader-approved status.

The best way to check glow plugs is to yank 'em out and hook 'em to a battery ground on the body, positive on the connection end. Following the wiring diagram in the owner's manual, I have it in good working order afer replacing the horn button, headlight switch and oil pressure lamp. Battery remains somewhere around 12. Shouldn't there be almost an ohm per plug? Select the lowest resistance scale on the meter like 100 ohms and read resistance from plug lug to engine block. For detailed information please contact the delivery carrier.
It is in the coolant fitting directly behind the hose from the rad, just left of the thermostat. If it starts right away, it is your sensor. Let me know what you find.

The only thing left to do is to sort out the glow plug indicator.
I am concerned about the coils location in the wiring harness relative to the plugs; is a closed circuit required across the glow coil? This is a function of the resistance of the wiring leading to the plugs and the high resistance of the plugs. Cores returned in a damaged state are subject to no or partial credit, so package them well for return as if they were a new product. However, analog multimeters are less accurate overall. A digital multimeter shows the exact number result of the test. What do you do with both tractors? These wires are attached to bolts.
The glow indicator will light up even if the plugs are not connected. Shouldn't the voltage at the top of the glow plugs still read battery voltage? An analog multimeter is harder to read because every possible result is listed at the top. When heating the plugs both wires are hot. It would be nice to know which model we are working with. The indicator on my B8200 really never glows in daylight but it is working. Al Neil, You are correct this has a resistance wire that is supposed to glow when power is applied.

Posted on Nov 21, 2009 If the battery is good you will need to follow flow. The multimeter uses black negative and red positive leads to test electrical currency and resistance. Im still using it today.
