It is the relay closest to the passenger side behind the fuel bowl. The two large post are power from battery and ground, so I think it would be the two smaller posts that go to the GP's. It's just like testing the relay to see if it works.

So you would hook your indicator LED to the large post that's only on when the relay is energized. The smaller posts are the relay control lines.

The one thing I'd like to add about REALLY cold starts, is that solid batteries make a huge difference. I just replaced my originals last week because of poor starting power and WOW. Turns out each battery had a dead cell, but those stock motorcraft batteries were tough. I was not in the least bit nice to them, and they held up for 5 years.
