Question Glow Plug Light Staying On...

Does anyone know why the glow plug light on my X reg Toyota Hilux won't go out ?

It goes out after starting but comes back on again after about one minute. There are no problems with the glow plugs as it starts from cold first time, every time.

Many Thanks,

Matt

It'll more than likely be your glow-plug relay. It's happened to me on a couple of cars; it will drain the battery very quickly and damage the heater plugs.
