Glow plug light keeps flashing

Postby TheTwoToneRebel » Tue Jan 10, 2017 4:31 pm

Hi all,

Iv got a MK6 ford transit t280 100 2002 and the glow plug light keeps flashing ever since I reconnected the glow plug wire that had been snipped, its never had a starting issue it starts first time every time and always has
its just I was doing some work on the engine and I found the wire linking to the glow plugs had been cut! naturally I reconnected it but this brought the coil light on and it wont stop flashing when just the ignition is on or engine is started. any help would be appreciated :) Thanks up front.

Flashing glow plug light is telling you there is a dtc present get the codes read and take it from there.

Or disconnect the glow plugs and see if it stops flashing my glow plugs have been disabled for 3 years now. N
