Hi guys!
After the engine rebuild (L series 2.0) I've noticed that the glow plugs were worned out, so replaced those, but from that one cable (than distributed to the other 3 GPs) that goes to the 2nd cylinder's GP doesn't have any power when the ignition is on.
Do you guys know where should I search for the problem?

P.s.: I don't have any wiring documentations

Multimeter check on each fuse first. I'm sure @Hippo or @Nodge68 may have something in their signatures regarding wiring.
 
Does the glow plug light come on?

I'd imagine there must be a relay to handle all that current, and would suspect that may be at fault. Strange that its failure coincides with your changing the plugs. Rave has wiring diagrams and pictures of all the relays, connectors etc so that you can locate them. Nees to run on a Windows PC...


Dunno if there are img files for the wiring diagrams anywhere if you want a quick looksie without having to install Rave, but I'd recommend installing Rave anyway - its invaluable.

Incidentally, did you replace all 4 glow plugs? The 4th one is tucked up behind the injection pump.

Since I had the head off the block, I changed all the 4 glowplugs for new ones. I looked up for the problem in rave and I noticed that nothing is between the battery and the glowplugs just the 70amp fuse and a relay. So I solved my problem by changing the 70amp fuse.
