Glow Plug: Description and Operation

These are 6-volt heaters (operated at 12 volts) that turn ON, when the ignition switch is turned to the Run position, prior to starting the engine. The 6-volt heaters remain pulsating for a short time after starting, and are then turned OFF.

A Wait to Start lamp on the instrument panel provides information about the engine starting conditions. The Wait to Start lamp will not come ON during the post glows.
