HELP. '05 stroke, glow plug relay

Hi
Got a major problem with my '05 stroke. It won't start, and I'm told it may be the glow plug relay. it just turns and turns and turns, but never fires. truck ran fine 5 hours previously.

Wondering if someone could send a picture of where this is located? (maybe take a picture of yours)

Stuck on the Big Hole River in Montana...bad situation.

Thanks.

Please send pics to tim_vedder3@hotmail.com.

I doubt its the glow plug relay....

Could be the ficm, icp, ipr....etc

unplug the ICP (front of pass side valve cover) and see if it starts.

Look over the No-Start thread in the Tech Folder - don't just start changing parts!

Well, after the truck sat overnight, it fired right up this morning. Needed a little extra juice (jump start), due to trying to start it forever the day prior, but other than that, no issues.

Still wondering if i have a relay on it's way out.

Could be the FICM, HPOP, STC Fitting or Dummy Plugs if the problem occurs while warm...

You need to get the codes pulled and/or hook up some gauges to get ya started...
