Glow plug relay/solenoid
I have been having trouble starting my pickup lately. I did some investigating and found that the glow plug solenoid/relay was not applying power to the glow plugs. The coil is working because I can hear it engage, but no power out. I got a new relay and installed it (I checked it first and it worked), and then after installation I checked it and no power out. I took it off and checked it on the workbench, and I can feel the coil activating, but there is no continuity across the power terminals. I can't for the life of me see how I could have damaged this thing. Any thoughts or help. If I have one or more bad glow plugs, could this cause this problem? What's the best/easiest way to test the glow plugs, if that's what I need to do? 2001 F250 CrewCab 4x4, if that makes any difference.
Thanks, Mike

There is a 30 amp fuse under the hood that operates the GPR and Fuel heater. Check it and then we can go from there.

I have power to the relay (it's activating the coil).

The relay is receiving power, because I can hear and feel it activating. I am guessing that the old one is just carboned up from arcing - as far as I know it's the original. Is there anything that could cause my problem with the new one? Thanks, Mike

I have power
I have power to the GPR because I can hear and feel the coil activating. I don't get power to the GP side of the relay, which I am guessing is due to it's age. Can anything that I've done have caused this problem with the new GPR or did I just get a dud? I don't see what could have happened, but maybe I'm missing something. I hooked it up the same way it was, but I don't see how or why it would matter if you switched a pair of wires to opposite terminals. Thanks, Mike

I bought it on Ebay - it's an aftermarket unit, but it did work when I tried it on the bench before installing it. It doesn't close nearly as hard as the factory one seems to.
