I just found out that fuse nr. 47 is blown... a new one was blown immediately. This is responsible for "charge" (electrical scheme), what's does that mean ? On the fuse box is mentioned "engine control"... Other information leads to "generator"... Ohm measurement between the out the fuse socket and 0 V reads 800 Ohm, changing the probes gives a 1, meaning : no connection. Makes me take about diode-problems in the alternator (during my trips in the Icelandic interior I've been through deep water hundreds of times). Regulator ?

Hello everybody, It's about my good old Patrol Y61 (GR 2,8 TDi). Model for the European continent, 1999 After a long trip to Swedish Lappland and medical troubles the Patrol was not in use for many months. So, I installed a new battery and tried to start up. Didn't take a second and the Patrol was alive. So, I thought : I'll let it run for 15' or so... When I came outside the engine had stopped. No way to start it up again... My first observation was that the indicator for the glowing did not work so I checked the fuse : OK, then the glowing relay : OK. The fuse does not get any signal. Next thing I remembered was that there must be a signal from a heat-sensor (I didn't check this yet because it's dark here at this moment) and a glowing timer. Now it comes to the problem : I don't find anything such as this glowing timer. Can somebody help me ? (We have the steering wheel on the left in driving direction, so I will stand and look from the front towards the engine). The only thing I can think is that the glowing time is controlled by the CPU, but on the other side I see that there are spare parts called "glowing timer relay"... Greetz from Belgium PaulM
