Hello everyone, I'm new here!
So I have a 1985 Mercedes 190D, which I drive every day, about 60 miles per day. It has 370k miles on it. It has a rebuilt injection pump with rings/seals for the new diesel fuel and new glow plugs (about 2 years old). I was driving the other day and it started and ran fine. I drove for about 30 miles then turned off the vehicle at a gas station. When I went to start it minutes later it would not start. I know it has battery power because when I turn the key to accessories all my dash gauges work, but my glow plug light does not light up (it comes on then goes off when the car is ready to start). I was wondering if anyone has heard of a problem like this? It could possibly be a wiring issue because the car sat for a while and has some corrosion problems with wire connections, but nothing like this has happened before.
Any advice is appreciated.
thank you,
Jesse
