Ok, this is good to know. I will make a wire of the appropriate length with some clips. I guess in a pinch one could use jumper cables?

I'm not sure what PEH means. I don't know how you can tell a good plug from a bad plug.

Well, you can test it if you've got a meter that does resistance. Infinite resistance = bad plug. But the post implied you could do it with nothing more than a wire. THAT'S a trick I'd like to learn.
Question: this morning, the light came on again (yes, I'm actually commuting to work in a 26-year-old car. Not sure what this says about me.) Is it possible the relay is set to cut out altogether at temps over about 85F? I only noticed the light starting to not come on last week (after I got it back from the a/c repair place
), so it doesn't seem likely because we've had hot temps all month. But going over it in my head, the times when the light comes on seem to be cooler. Maybe I will start logging when it comes on and doesn't. (This is the first summer I've had the car).
BTW, does anyone just disconnect their glow system in summer? Seems to me I'm wearing out my plugs and relay for no reason June-September.
