The light that shows that the glow plugs are warming up....key turned to the left, comes on even after i start the engine of my ym2310d. Is the light supposed to be on or should i be concerned when it is out? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Ok I'm no expert but since no one has answered you I will give it a try. My understanding is you don't turn the key to start until it goes out. I do know it should go out so if it isn't, sounds like something is wrong.

which light are you referring to? i only remember oil pressure, charging, radiator fluid level and battery fluid level.

Could he be refering to the engine temp or (gasp) oil pressure warning lights?

I don't understand what you mean. I don't think 2310's have glow plugs but I am guessing you mean the thermostart system? My 2210 does not have a specific light for it.

My 1602D does have a light, but it only glows when you turn the switch to the left, and goes out when you crank or when the motor starts, to indicate the the thrmostart is operating. If this is what you think you have, that's my understanding of how it should work. I also only use it in cold conditions, it simply doesn't need it when it's warm out.........

Ok, that is the same as my tractor (1510D) and I only use mine when it is cold, too. I have used tractors with glow plugs though, that you first turned the key to the left until the light went out, then you turned it right to start it. I thought that's what he meant.

Right, I've had glow plugs too............

Mine kinda works the same way in that it's on a timer. I turn it left till the light goes out (30 sec to a minute), then right to crank it over.

Since I have a clutch safety switch, it works the same way if I turn it to the right and hold it in the start position, but don't push in the clutch. When the light goes out, I kick in the clutch while still holding the key in the crank position, and it cranks and starts.......... but, the light always goes out and stays off when it's running. Hope I'm not confusing you more!
