Question
What causes diesel engine glow plug relay "intermittent" failures?
Answer
Corroded electrical connections and thermal fatigue.
Explain
Intermittent relay failures cause inconsistent cold starts. CHEPQ tools clean relay terminals and test for thermal expansion issues—replacing the relay with a high-temperature-rated model resolves intermittent operation.
