- In this video i share how to bypass a faulty glow plug timer with a customizable, simple to use and cheap setup.
I used a YYC 2 timer relay off ebay, and activated it with a moment switch from this mob here: billetautomoti...
This video is not a comprehensive guide on the correct way to do anything, it's only a rough guide of how i did it.
Don't use this method if your vehicle is under warranty or you are not confident carrying out auto electrical work.

Don't forget to add fuses to your work. 60Amp between Glow Plugs and an 80Amp relay. 7.5Amp fuse inline with the switch. And you should be good to go.
Absolutely MEGA !! The old Ford would love this. Thanks for sharing!!
No worries mate, happy to help!
Oh heeelllll yeah...
I've been postponing buying the 4 glow plug controllers I need for my 6.2L projects.
Thank you for posting.
No worries! Thanks for watching!!
WOW...I have problems like your model; the ignition key turned ON the heat glow orange light on-off for half a second. Now your idea I follow you I do same GREAT THANK YOU.
Thanks, i'm glad i was able to help!!!
Cheers mate. Someone engine swapped a isuzu into the Defender I just bought and didn't bother with the glowplug timing kit. They were on constantly when the ignition was on. Plugs still worked after thousands of miles to be fair. I've ordered the bits for this setup.
Sounds like you've got a bit of a beast there. Has it got the 4BD1-T motor in it?? Just make sure you have proper relays when you do it.
@@wilddonkeyadventures 4JB1T, and yeah, is a great engine. All new relays too :)
@@Jin-Ro I was thinking of putting a 4JB1T in my Pajero, but the guy who i was going to buy it off kept changing his mind and then eventually stopped returning my calls LoL. So i just ended up using the 4M40T.
@@wilddonkeyadventures Yeah the AK47 of engines, archeologists will dig them up in a 1000 years and they'll still run fine. Problem is parts in the UK, like hens teeth. I believe parts are readily available in Oz which is where I'm looking for a complete rebuild kit. Opposite problem with the 4M40T in the UK. Parts everywhere, no spare engines :)
thanks, watch and got some idea on how to wire glow plugs
Hi there on your diagram you have put glow plugs switch and dash light in two different places but doesn't your glow plug switch light up ?
Yeah that's right. As not every switch will light up i thought it easier to just have the wire running to a separate light on the diagram and folks could just adjust it to their individual preferences. In my setup you would just run the wire to the lighting circuit of the switch, if it's an illuminated switch. Also if you were to not use the push button switch and instead have the timer activate once you turn the key, you would need a separate light on the dash. Hope that makes as much sense as it does in my head. LoL.
hi , i know this is a old post. but @TEKNOFIED commented to add fuses. Did you add fuses? can you explain clearly what fuses to add. i wasnt clear on @TEKNOFIED. also the gage of wire for wiring. is 12g or 14g? thank you and much luck!
Hey mate can I wire it up to the ignition so I don't need to push the button on the dash to start the timer
Yeah sure thing! You just need to tap into a wire that comes on with the ignition. Just make sure your car doesn't have canbus wiring or you will be screwed if if you cut into it.
So does 1 use permanent 12V on the trigger while ignition is on?
Or will this keep the timer at 10 or keep the timer resetting itself?
Mate this system is right up my alley my problem is well I’ve put all the wire to each point but I don’t know where the wires go to the actual timer I got timer through alie pretty much same as the one on here so one side grd,sign the other side has5to30volts or vin I think out + out- ground. Now I have no idea what goes where the wire goes from one side to other side of the timer all the wires except the wires shown on your clip of it please I would appreciate your help
I'm not really following you there mate, what seems to be the problem? So have you got the same timer as the one in the video? What car are you using this on?
@@wilddonkeyadventures so it’s land cruiser 60series so I’ve set all wires to where they have to go except I fucking hopeless with wiring so yes the timer is pretty close in the video but my problem is putting the write wire into the timer so my timer one side is ground and signi assume signal the other of timer vin,out+out, and ground so my problem is which of the wires go to which slot on the timer also the wire from one of timer then goes around to the other side of timer I don’t know what wire goes where I’m not sure if I explained that right. Dale
Um I’m not sure maybe send you a picture might help I’m very close it’s mainly wires that into which slot on the timer
@@daleberry1277 Sorry mate, i'm having a bit of difficulty understanding you. But if it's causing too much trouble, it might be best to take it to an auto electrician or a mate who's good with wiring, they'll be able to sort it out quick.
I suppose mate when read it back I’m not sure my self I will try once more can’t afford auto elec so I’ve put all main wires per your diagram so wire to relay wire to light switch wire to push button for the timer and so on but I’m not sure which of the wires go into the slots on timer as said one side has ground and sign and the other side has 4spots which are ground again out+ out- and vin wires on your diagram just shows wires going to the timer so which wires coming from all the different buttons and things all I need to know the wires that go into the timer which connection goes to which little socket on timer I’m sorry mate I hope that’s easier mate other wise I will be bald pulling my hair trying to work this out. Dale thanks for your time mate
My car Toyota Qualis even after started the glow plug is on for another 4,5 minutes, kindly suggest a remedy
It sounds like your glow plug timer is not working properly. I recommend replacing it or bypassing it like in this video.
Thanks for this WD ... ? possible to/how to wire this delay unit downstream from a photo-electric module to keep a 12v light on for several hours.
I can't see why not. You just need to adjust the time on it.
Great post, can anyone tell me what the meter reading should be when I attach the live probe to the end of the glow plug once the ignition is switched on.
Thanks in advance
It depends on the voltage of the glow plug. Most of them are 12 volts but some can be different. It'll most likely be stamped on the glow plug near the top.
My son has an 2002 diesel Prado and when it is cold it is hard to start. When the ignition is turned on the dash Glow Plug light only issuminates for 1 second. DOes this mean that the Glow Plug times in the ECU is not working properly.
I'd say so. Should be on for a few seconds when cold. Best thing to do is to get a multimeter and see if power is getting to the glow plug rail. If not i reckon the timer is faulty.
What wire gauge I need to feed the glow plugs? Heavy gauge I suppose, isn’t it?
There should already be a wire going to the glow plug rail. But yeah, definitely a heavy gauge is gonna be needed.
Can I connect a cable to the battery positive run it threw a switch on my dash then from switch to the glow plugs positive connections, I have 4 cylinder diesel van, my glow light only illuminates for 2 seconds then goes off engine will not start in temperatures below 2c
Yeah you can do that, you will have to run it through a relay though.
I used this setup but my relay burnt out while the power specs of my timer circuit were same. Can you please tell me if I need to have the relay which should support 80 maps and 12 volts for timer circuit which would trigger the glow plug relay ?
Which relay burnt out? You didn't run 80 amps through the timer did you?
@@wilddonkeyadventures I attached the glow plug relay directly to the timer relay actually to trigger it. you think it was not correct ?
@@farrukhqamar What burnt out? Was it the timer relay or the glow plug relay?
@@wilddonkeyadventurestimer relay burnt out as it seems the glow plug relay needs some extra load to get triggered
Hey I have a hilux surf ssr-x it will crank over but won't start im missing a wire from the ecu to the ignition for power
It could be the injector pump. It's a diesel yeah?
@@wilddonkeyadventures yup
The electron guy said I have no power going from the ecu to the ignition
@@brendoncooper5330 It's a diesel so as long as its got fuel going to the injectors it should fire. I recommend taking it to a proper diesel specialist as Surfs can be a bit temperamental.
@@wilddonkeyadventures should I just do a bypass
Thanks but how do I get this timer
Go on Ebay and type in YYC2 timer.
Do you have video using the stock glow plug relay?
Yes it is using the stock glow plug relay. I don't have a video of it though.
@@wilddonkeyadventures thanks😊
hi, that's the same as Powertrain Glow Plug Timer 12/24v - DGPT100...
It's a different unit, and it's much cheaper. DGPT100 is $65 from Repco. This unit was under $10 at the time i filmed this.
Forgive my ignorance but did you use the factory glow plug relay or an aftermarket
Hi, i bought it, but how i wire it up without a switch?
You just run the wire straight to the timer, removing the switch completely. Then it will activate when you turn you key to the ON position, wait until the light goes out and then start it.
@@wilddonkeyadventures ok, where the switch is connected, it can keep the ignition key 12 volts permanent?
Sir how about not using push button switch just engine switch
You can wire it up that way if you want to. But i chose to have a switch so i can glow it more while the engine is running. You can't do that if it's activated by the ignition key.
@@wilddonkeyadventures hi I'm new to this .on the wiring diagram what is the number on the relay.for the wiring diagram
@@ashat2ify Are you talking about the black glow plug relay in the image at 0:44, or the timer relay at 2:53?
@@wilddonkeyadventures yes
the black glow plug relay .witch #from relay goes to grown an so forth
thanks.
@@ashat2ify It's just a generic diagram for this video so there is no specific number for it, every vehicle will be different.
I used the factory relay for this setup. But if you are starting from scratch, it would be best to buy a heavy duty relay from an auto electrician. There will be a wiring diagram on the packet.
Which relay could be nice for a system made from 0%? (12V glow plugs as well)
