no wait to start light?

Hey everyone, my 96 PSD wait to start light only comes on sometimes? Usually the first time in the morning when you turn the key it does not come on, but after being ran all day, the light will come on before you start. I replaced the GPR already thinking that would solve the problem, (AutoZone) but I was wrong. I'm pretty sure the glow plugs are working because it was 30 degrees this morning and after I waiting 30 seconds or so, it started right up without any problem. (I was not plugged in). Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.

Jeff

The wait to start lamp is separate from the glow plug circuit and is turned on by the PCM grounding the black/pink wire to the lamp. Fuse #17 (10 amp) under the dash powers the lamp. Loose bulb? poor connection at PCM pin #80? loose/broken fuse?
