Hi there. I just wanted to come back here and share the info I had gleamed from here which helped me solve this issue with my Galaxy. I'll post photos also so I hope this helps you along the way - it cost me a tenner and I'll happily live with that! Vehicle: Ford Galaxy TDi 2000 Problem: Would not start and Glow Plug light not coming on. Troubleshooting: After scouring the web and this site in depth, an electrical relay (number 109) was touted as the likely culprit. Below I have illustrated finding and replacing this relay. I picked one up in a breakers yard which, luckily had a couple of Galaxys. It's probably the same for the Alhambra and the Sharan...check that to make sure. Finding and replacing the Relay: To the right under the dash, open the fusebox enclosure: Over the bank of fuses is the assembly with the wiring harness plugged into it. This needs to be unscrewed (torc screws, 5 I think). You do not need to plug out the wiring harness connections: When this is unscrewed, it can be prised from both sides and lifted out of its cradle hooks both sides and lowered down: When you look into it, you will see Relay 109. This photo has my replacement part already in. You reach around the back and unplug it: The bad part I took out. It has the same part number as the replacement part, even though the colours are different. (Part Number: 357906381A). I sincerely hope this helps some poor sod from going down for about 300 quid at a garage. Cheers, Ken
