View glow plug dash light
Is it unusual, in teen to below zero weather, to have the glow plug symbol light up for thirty or so seconds after the engine starts and then go out? We have a 2009 Winnebago View therefore a Mercede...

The indicator light should come ON then go OFF when you turn ignition key to 'ON' position (not start). Wait for light to go off BEFORE you start engine
After starting the indicator light may come back on then go back off.
The glow plugs are controlled by a relay.....they come on for 2 minutes 30 seconds. The light can go out quickly (warm weather) or stay on longer (cold weather).
Do you have a 'block heater'? If so.....plug it in when temps drop below 20*F for about an hour prior to starting engine. Warms up the coolant/oil (depends on where it is installed) and makes it easier on engine. Just use a timer to turn it on/off.
