Glow Plug Relay

This might be a dumb question..I'm kinda new to these diesels! Where is the Glow Plug Relay on my 97 350? Found one on the fender well (as suggeted at store), but also found one under center cover beside fuel bowl. Twisted main terminal off of that one just trying to remove rubber boot, so I'm guessing thats the one. If so, What is the relay on the passenger fender well? They look identical.

Thanks

The solenoid on the fender well is for the starter and the one next to the fuel bowl is for your glow plugs. If you want to got to Napa you can get a gpr 109 for 20 something dollars. Some guys run with a stancor gpr. Hope this helps.

They should not look identical. The one on the passenger fender has only 3 terminals, two large and one small. The small terminal is a push on connector and is key to start voltage and the frame of the relay is ground. GPR has two large and two screw on small connections, with no frame to ground.
