The only constant is the duration of the glow period after the light extinguishes.
My comment was basically that the Timer functions indpendantly from the Glow Plug Light. And, the test in My previous Post shows that the light can go off before the relay times out.

But, I guess you are saying I did not take into acount some sub-artic temperatue where the Glow Plug Light may never go off even though the Glowplug Relay time out and is off.

I felt that the Original Post was aimed at more reasonable temperatures since no specific temp was given.
