Glow plug relay relocation
After putting my turbo on I never moved the relay an it died. I have been running a manual switch with no issues but I wanted to get the wts light working now to.
I extended the wires an mounted the relay on the fire wall above the master cylinder. I found the wts wire I think an its black an purple out of the harness. If i give it ground the light comes on.
I purchased napa gpr109 but it has the s an I on it an I have read that it is not the right one but the napa guy sais it is.
My problem is if I have to give the wts light ground how can I do this? Both trigger screws on the relay are hot with key turned on an it trips if I ground it but should both little poles be hot? I know its a coil but I thought with a hot wire on 1 little post I should not get power on the other. Is this right? Am I on the correct wts wire?
Thanks, I have read the whole sticky post about GPs an can not find my answer

Its funny how if you write or talk things out to yourself you can usually figure it out. I realized that it doesnt matter if their is voltage going back to the lamp because its all the same source of power. It can be hot an when you give it ground the load ( bulb) works.
An I realize that the relay is a coil which is really a wire coiled up and ran from terminal to terminal an a ground completes the circut an causes a mag field and pulls the bar over some times I really have brain farts. I am starting to worry about myself Lol
Oh well maybe this will help somebody some day.
