If Your Diesel Engine Won't Start If you've run out of fuel, look at "Running Out of Fuel" (see "Diesel Fuel Requirements and Fuel System"in the Index). If you're not out of fuel, and your engine won't start, do this: Turn your ignition key to RUN. Make sure that the "GLOW PLUGS" light is out. Then turn theignition key to START. If the light doesn't gooff, wait a few seconds, then try starting your engine again. And, see your dealer as soon as you can for a starting system check. If the light comeson and then goes off and you know your batteries are charged, but your engine still won't start, your vehicle needs service. If the light does not come on when the engine iscold, your vehicle needs service. If your batteries don't have enough charge to start your engine, see "Battery" in the Index.
