Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit glow plug/sensor.

Verify that the vehicle model and component are listed within the product's compatibility range. Ensure you are using the correct 12mm socket and not another size.

Antistatic caps are difficult to fit.

Gently twist the cap onto the sensor pin or terminal. If excessive force is required, check for debris and ensure the sensor is correctly positioned.

Ensure the 1/4" drive ratchet or extension is fully engaged with the socket. Check the condition of the socket's drive interface for wear.
