I have a 2010 Focus 2.0 TDCi with keyless start.
When I turn on ignition and dash lights up all the lights come on except glow plug light - the yellow ones go out leaving three red ones handbrake/oil/battery - press button and engine spins "bruumph" then stops - press again and engine fires red lights go out except handbrake.
Is this a fault or is it due to the ambient temp telling glow plugs they are not needed - I have looked at that dash for so many years I never even realised the glow plug light didn't come on.
If it is supposed to come on has anyone any idea where to start looking before it goes to the garage.
The more I think about it I think this has been happening for a while - Mainly if car isn't used for a few days except getting it in and out of the garage - When that has happened I put the battery on trickle charge but in last two years it's had a new battery and alternator.
It was showing 12.3v after the in/out of garage - checked when running and 14.4v.
Am I worrying for nothing.
