I have searched a little and couldn't turn up any results. My problem is that I have to turn the multiple times to get the glow plugs to cycle.
First time I turn the key they do nothing, second time they may cycle and usually always cycle by the third key turn. I'm thinking maybe the relay is sticking but thought I would post and get some feedback before I tear into it. Thanx in advance, you guys are always helpful.

If nothing else you could do like many other forum members and myself have done and just put in a regular relay and hook it up to a switch inside the cab

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!
