GPR prob

I just checked out my Glow Plug Relay (looks like an old style Ford starter solenoid) and I'm not getting a ground to it. Which I think is the way Ford controls the relay. Does anyone know how the ground circuit is wired, where it comes from? I waited a little too long to order the repair manual, which I'll price from Helm and e-bay.

Thanks Springer, this is what I thought. I like the idea of installing a momentary switch to control the relay. I've seen the Matrix one too many times and I don't want some silly puter controlling my mule!!!
