The glow plug may be old and worn. your vehicle is waiting for this to get hot enough to start your diesel and over time the heating element gets weak and deposits form on it. try replacing the glow plug. hope this helps

Have an 03 Dodge 3500 diesel that will not start when the temperature is cold. Will start fine if plugged in overnite. Unable to drive to work when cold due to this problem. Have replaced relay sensor,...

I suggest you check that the glow plugs are working as a cold diesel needs the glow plugs to initially ignite the fuel spray in the combustion chambers

Check the headlight switch. The power goes from the fuse to the headlight switch and then to the dash and running lights.

I HAVE A 1998 DODGE 3500 P/U DIESEL. THE WAIT OT START LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING. IT WILL CRANK BUT NOT START>

The wait to start light is telling you there's a problem. Check out your drivers guide. There can be a whole load of problems causing this problem, water in the diesel, blocked fuel filter, no diesel, but if it cranks and starts eventually. The glow plugs probably need replacing.

95 dodge ram 3500 turbo diesel left headlamp replace

Open the hood and look between the battery and the light. You will see the wires going to the bulb. Turn the bulb holder and it will slide out. This is easier to do with the battery out. If you do remove it, be careful with the wrences and the cables, I would disconnect the grounds for both batteries first.

Don't touch the glass on new bulb.
