The Wire (on mine Violet) connected from the Glow Plug Relay to the Starter Solenoid keeps the Glow Plug on during cranking. Releasing the Key from cranking turns the relay off.

On My Car the Steering Colum Lock is out of the car and the Ignition Switch came with it and I needed to start and move My Car. I used that Prurple (Violet) Wire applied to + Voltage today to preglow and then took the wire that goes to the Solenoid and appled to the + to crank and start.
I just did that about 1 hour ago.
