Default 1978 300d glow plug relay fuse blows when I turn ignition

The glow plug relay fuse blows within a few seconds of turning the ignition to light glow plugs. Does anyone know what might cause this?

I just replaced the starter myself. Could something I did cause while replacing the starter cause the glow plug relay fuse to keep blowing?


Do I just have a bad glow plug or two?

thanks.

If it worked before you worked on it, and it doesn't work now, I would go back and check your work. The fuse blows because there is too much of a load on it, either because of a short or whatever is fused is pulling too much electricity. Perhaps you pinched a wire or didn't connect one properly.

Thanks, cycleboy.

I'll go through and check all the cables and wire connections.
