Relay bypass.
So while I wait for the new relay to arrive I built this
relay bypass.
Originally I thought that the existing glow wire post would have enough oomph to trigger my external relay.
Although I am sure it worked while testing, it does not.
So I ran wires into the cab to use a momentary switch that will allow me to
trigger the relay to feed the glow plugs.
Notice that I get my 12 volts for external relay from the fused section of
original relay. Then 5 wires with bullet ends take the 12 volts and are plugged
in to the existing wire harness to feed the glow plugs.
This way I did not have to go to each glow plug and run new wires.
Almost did not seem worth it, but I want to use this car for commuting and
when the new part arrives I will eventually get around to installing it.
This cost around $25 to do.
