It is about 75 F in the garage, but I've tried starting without doing the pre-glow at all before, and it was much harder. Normal.

EDIT #1: Less than an hour later, I got someone else to turn the key for me while I listened at the hood. I only heard that first initial click when you turn the key to pre-glow setting.

So, no clicking, no dash light, but smooth starting. Can't have everything! Sorry.

P.S. So just because the dash light bulb turns on when the relay plug is off, doesn't mean that the bulb "works"? Yes.

So if the bulb is good but doesn't work when the relay plug is on, then the timer probably isn't working... ? All I can add is the timer seems to be working, as you have a smooth start after a delay. But the timer won't click, toomany. Doesn't make any sense Jim. (Star Trek anyone?) I unplugged the one on the CD, light did not come on at all, can't remember if I tried to start.

EDIT #2:
Also I wanted to mention.. If one GP is bad, that may not make it hard for the engine to start, but it may be enough to make the dash light not work. Yes. That's why I thought checking each plug with a jump box might be necessary. Good thinking!
