Hey barebackjake, sorry I can't help you but I have a question. Noticed in your sig that you also have a '97. Does it also use a controller instead of a relay? I need it for my info just in case, aloha.

I've got the diagram you need Jake, but I need you to e-mail me so I'll have something to attach it too.

watermanh, CA. emissions trucks and Excursions have glow plug control modules, everything else has a glow plug relay.

Glow Plug Relay Control — California
The California glow plug system is composed of solid state Glow Plug Control Module (GPCM), glow plugs and the associated wiring harness. The glow plug on-time is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and is a function of oil temperature, barometric pressure and battery voltage. The PCM enables the GPCM which drives the individual glow plugs. Glow plug on-time normally varies between 1 to 120 seconds. In addition to PCM control, the GPCM internally limits the glow plug operation to 180 seconds regardless of PCM commanded on-time. The power to the glow plugs is provided through the GPCM solid state drivers directly from the vehicle battery. The GPCM monitors and detects individual glow plug functionality, and the control and communication links to the PCM. The failures detected by the GPCM are passed to the PCM using a serial communication signal on the diagnostic line.
