Hi all,
I did a stupid thing because my fog lights had condensation in them after replacement.
Basically here is the story
- Washed and Waxed Car
- Though oo lets turn foggys on to burn the condenstaion (Ignitin Switched On)
- Let it burn out, then asked my mum to turn the ignition off, however she turned only the lights off. (Unknown to me as I thought she turned the igntion off) MY FAULT, i should have checked and I can't blame my mum
- Result Lights still work however it won't start but click and start to turnover. (Dad thinks its a stuck solenoid)
- Charging battery now as this may fix the problem, my dad has alot of rallying experiece etc, so maybe this may work
Questions I Ask to YOU
- Could this damage the glow plugs? However my thoughts are that they only pre-heat when they are not to temperature and then turn off.
- What could be done? Any thoughts or past experience]
How can I get the engine to start? Above method?
NB. Battery light was flashing but went off.
Regards David
