Glow Plug Relay and Fuse Location

Good Day,
We have the RTV X1100C 2023 and we know where the fuse and relay center is located under the seats.
Is the Glow Plug Relay in that those 12 ice cube relays or is it in another location?
According to the electrical print it shows it not in the relay boxes. Anyone have an idea on this? Thanks
 
According to what I know from studying the electric diagram, the glow plugs are directly wired to the starter switch - direct from switch to glow plug. The glow lamp is off that circuit with a 5amp fuse. I don't see a fuse or relay related to the glow plugs themselves. You should be able to test voltage right at the glow plugs. I have attached a screenshot of that circuit - hope this helps!

Well, Kind of. There is a 30 amp fuse (left hand side top) protecting the whole branch circuit. If you follow the 30 amp circuit, it goes to the key switch, which is controlling your glow plugs. The glowplug light is a tapped branch circuit off of the 30 amp, on the load side of the keyswitch with it's own 5 amp circuit protection. If you are not getting power to the glow plugs, I would look at the 30 amp fuse. There are two other fuses upstream. A 60 amp and a 80 amp.

If the 30 amp is blown, there may be a reason why. I would investigate that after you feed the machine a couple of 30 amps while troubleshooting. This schematic is from the 2021 WSM.

No power to glow plug and if you follow your diagram it goes to a relay. I pulled every fuse in both fuse boxes and ohm each one out and they are good. If there is another fuse located somewhere else along with the relay that is what I am looking for.1740572701226.png
 
The second schematic you provided: What piece of equipment does that go to? I also have a 2023 RTV X1100C, and I have never seen that schematic before. On the schematic I provided, the part you are calling the relay and colored yellow is actually a male/female plug connection. There is a mating connection that goes to the key-switch matrix above it. All relays must have a coil to operate. All of those devices across the top of the schematic heading left? Those, are relays. None of them go to the glow plugs.
