If there is no continuity between the glow plug temp. sender and the relay,=
 the relay keeps the plugs "ON".  May be a shorted open temp sender (make s=
ure you test the plug one and not the one for the temp guage), broken wire,=
 or simply the connector got pulled off.  Also, the contacts in the relay c=
an fuse together and not open.  Pry, or cut, off the relay cover and take a=
 look.  It helps to sand the contacts w/ emery paper.

My glow plug indicator is coming on when it should not.  Coincidently my
glow plugs seem to be burning open.  If I remove the glow plug relay the LED
goes out.  This is annoying.  I stuck in a different (old) relay and
experienced the same phenomenon.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Did you determine the root cause?  How
did you fix it?

Your response is appreciated.
