    due to cold weather I would think they are staying on for a little longer till min temp is reached and tis just telling you so! :)

    Older diesels would keep the glow plugs on for a good 30seconds when engine has started...wernt direct injection....now direct injection, they barely need the glow plugs...just when gets nippy! :)

    Hope that helps :0

    and anyone please correct me if know any different...i know on some models of Ford, a flashin glow light is an error code...but seems to fit with weather my explanantion!
