It is broken. Continuous glow plugs are for emergency generators in freezing climates. On all other engines, the glow plug is not continuous. It would serve no purpose. The continuous glow plug does not offer any benefit once the engine is running.

Why would the engine-motor light start flashing on the dash of my 2003 Holden Rodeo Turbo Diesel Ute and Why cant I start the Ute When this engine-motor Light is Flashing Its Not the Glow Plug either.?

I don't know what YOUR vehicle does specifically, but most diesels have "glow plugs" that come on when the engine is cold. The glow plugs warm a spot in the cylinder making the engine start much more easily, especially in cold weather. I can't speak for YOUR engine, but in general, there is usually a light on the instrument cluster that flashes while the glow plug is heating. Once the glow plugs are up to temperature, the light stops flashing and you can start the engine. If there is any doubt, read the section of the owners manual that describes the operation of the glow plugs.


What does glow mean on fuse box?

Glow is probably for "glow plug" which is a diesel engine application. If your vehicle isn't diesel, it had that option as an engine, so that fuse would be found empty in your vehicle. If your vehicle is a diesel, a blown fuse here would lead to a "hard to start"or "no start" issue.

Do the glow plugs cycle after engine is running?

No they do not, After engine is running there is no need for glow plugs because there is enough heat in the cylinders to warm the fuel. The glow plugs are designed to heat up the cold diesel fuel on start up only. Actually glow plugs will cycle briefly after engine start up to keep the cold fuel from bringing down cyl temp until the engine warms up. A power stroke will keep glow plugs on for up to 180 sec. A chev will run considerably less I believe.
