Did you hook up the GP LED to the hot side of the GP's? Big lug on the GPR. Or did you hook up the LED to the Small wires.. I went through three Napa 109's before i got frustrated and went to the stancor.

The led goes to the big lug that has a big brown wire,a big yellow wire, and a smaller wire on it. If I plug it in it will start right up no smoke. How do you check compression on a diesel? Through the gp hole?

Compression Gauge in the GP hole.. And a quick check way, is to run it and take off the oil fill cap and set it on the neck upside down.. If it stays your are golden. If it PUFFS off you are in trouble..

Plugged in it starts up with no smoke? I'm Still leaning on a GP/GPR issue..

How is the oil?

I just changed the motor oil about 500 miles ago. I will quick check the compression in the morning and let you know.

I crossed the two large terminals on the gpr and it started pretty easy this morning! If it is bad why does my led on the dash come on? Just in case I can't find it what is the stancor #?

Did the quick check on the compression and the cap vibrated off it didn't blow off, I couldn't feel any pressure with my hand over it either.

I would put a voltmeter on the terminal that feeds the GP's to verify how many volts are being administered to the GP's. Chances are, it's enough to light your LED but not enough to fully heat up your GP's.

Stancor relay is:Stancor (White-Rogers) #586-902 relay

Ok should there be 12 volts to the gp side and thanks for the number.

Side note-reading some people use the Stancor Heavy Duty 586-903 instead of the 902 because it is rated for 15 volts instead of 12 and it is only a few dollars more? Over kill just go with the 902?

Should be real close to 12 volts on the GP side of the GPR. Within .2 volts.

FWIW, I have the 902 Stancor without any issues.

Welcome to guzzle's Stancor GPR replacement Mod Web Page
586-902 Stancor General Purpose / Industrial Relays

Probably getting enough current to through the relay to light the LED but not the GP's. Another Napa 109 bites the dust.. lol..

Money well spent on the stancor.. It should be the last time you mess with the GPR once the stancor is in.. When you get it i the mail you will say "holy shemoe" That thing is huge.. And it bolts right in.. 10 minute install.
