oh
same happend to me a while back
that is the glow plug circuit
if you remove the thick brown and red striped wire off the ignition switch
it will start up

what engine is it ?
my glow plugs were never connected in the 1st place so i just disconnected and left like that as i never use them on my 200
when stripping the bulkhead ( as the 90 is in bits being rebuilt ) i found that the wire was fouled and created a dead short which also filled my cab up to  :shock:

look under the bonnet to see if the wire is all shrivled up to the glow plugs

hope that helps
