Help!
As Emmett described to me, I wired in push switch , taking power side from
12v connection block, other wire going to replace pink wire which I
disconnected from bottom small lug on relay and taped up. When I push
button I get 12v at relay, but relay doesn't click or turn on glow plugs.
I even tried old relay and does same thing.
I know switch works.
