Last week I had the known problem of smoking handbrake boot which I understand is due to faulty earth and handbrake cable becoming the earth. The vehicle started OK afterwards and once again having been parked up for 1/2hr.
I have stripped our cable and ordered a replacement and cleaned up the earthing points between battery, chassis and transfer box. Now when I try to start the vehicle (New brake cable nor fitted yet) the yellow relay under driver's seat buzzes and there glowplug and engine lights on dash do not illuminate. Engine will turn over so I do not suspect a duff battery. I have run a 6mm2 cable from battery earth to ECU as some forum posts suggest this is a work around but it has not solved the problem. I have tested the yellow relay and the black one next it and all OK.No blown fuses.
Any thoughts on what else to check/replace etc.
