Are you saying that although the glow plugs all test ok, there is no voltage reaching them.

If so it will probably be the glow plug relay, may be located in the engine bay fuse box.

Hi there.
Thanks for feedback, really appreciated. In a recent really cold day, I tested volts and it was working correctly. But it has to be close to zero celcius. So I'm wundering if the temp sensor isn't reading that accurately. Any thoughts? Is that built into the relay/control box? I think the control box is under the steering column.
