C5 2001 glowplug relay location ?

Post by TopDonkey »

Anyone know where i will find the glowplug relay on my 2001 C5 lx hdi ?

It takes about 20 seconds of cranking to get it started in the mornings now, i checked the voltage to the plugs when i turn the ignition on (-6 this morning!) and there was no power to them at all, but a resistance check of less than 1 ohm across them all indicates that they would work if they had power, so i am suspecting the relay, but cannot find it anywhere, is it the usual black top green base with fat wires going in and out ?

It should be located under the ECU in the plastic box behind the battery.

Thanks for that, i did look in the ecu box, and saw something green under the ecu, but when i saw the ecu was screwed down, i decided not to disturb it incase anything stopped working afterwards!, I have to drive 600 miles tomorrow, so once i get it fired up in the morning, it should be good for the rest of the day, then i will take it out tomorrow evening and check it.

Thanks
