glow plug relay

can someone send me a picture of the glow plug relay from the top
so i can make sure i have all the wires in place
from what i seen the red wire from the starter goes to the terrminal closet to the firewall but the brown glow plug wires are already in that spot and they have power constant from the wires hooked up to the starter solenoid
thanks for the assistance

Your wire from the starter that supplies battery power needs to go to the battery terminal.
The ignition wire needs to have power from the key switch, hot when the key is ON.
The ground wire needs to go to a good electrical ground.
Wire to the glow plugs needs to be hooked up to the terminal at the end of the metal strip.

My guess is the wire from the starter to the glow plug relay should really be running from the starter solenoid mounted on the fender and be attached to the terminal with the large red wires on it.
No need for it to be down at the starter where it can be burnt by the exhaust.
