1997 RD28T buzzing noise coming from Glow Plug Relay (under the bonnet)
Hey boys,
I had a flat battery in the GQ and took the battery out and charged it using a battery charger for a few days.
I re installed the now charged battery and when I turn on the ignition, there is a very loud buzzing/clicking sound emitting from the Glow Plug relay under the bonnet. Keep turning the key and I hear a solenoid clicking but nothing else. I get dash lights but no glow system lights.
Have I killed the relay or the entire glow system altogether?
Cheers,
Rob

WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

Check the main negative battery cable connection at the engine and body.

sure that your battery is still good? I had the same problem in my GQ. glow relay was like a buzzer. I put a new battery in it and the problem was solved.

Thanks boys. I had a sneaking suspicion that the battery is cactus.
I'll change it out and see how I go.

Thanks TD.
Before I fork out $160 odd on a new battery I will reseat the terminal connections after first cleaning them and see how I go.
Will post my findings tomorrow.

Might even be worth re-doing the earths to the chassis ,body and engine.
This will then eliminate that as a possible cause, as well
