Glow Plug Relay Cartier Citroën Peugeot 9663696380 598140

Description

Product Overview

The Glow Plug Relay Cartier is a crucial electrical component designed specifically for Citroën and Peugeot diesel vehicles. This relay controls the power supply to the glow plugs, enabling the rapid heating required for smooth engine start-up in cold conditions. Compatible with PSA group models using product codes 9663696380 and 598140, this relay ensures reliable operation of the glow plug system, reducing start times and improving engine efficiency.

Application and Replacement

Typically found in diesel engine variants of popular Citroën and Peugeot models, this glow plug relay can be located within the engine bay electrical cluster or fuse box. Over time, the relay may fail due to electrical wear or exposure to heat and engine vibrations, leading to difficult cold starts or engine misfire during ignition. Replacement is straightforward for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts familiar with automotive electrical systems—disconnect battery, locate the faulty relay, remove it, and install the new unit in the same position, ensuring correct connectors are firmly attached.

Why Glow Plug Relays Fail

Relay failure is often caused by constant electrical load, corrosion on terminals, or internal contact degradation. These failures result in insufficient current reaching the glow plugs, extending the engine’s start time especially in colder environments. Regular inspection and timely replacement of the relay can prevent starting issues and potential damage to the glow plugs themselves.
