[Vwdiesel] Glow Plug Indicator Light

[Craig Osborn]

Once again, returning to my favorite group of people to help me solve a
problem!
My 81 recently started doing a peculiar thing.  The yellow glow plug
indicator light will light when the ignition key is turned, but will NEVER
turn off until the engine is started.  The engine will start (even in cold
temperatures) in the usual manner if I wait for a period of time equivalent
to the time in the past when it was functioning properly.  After the engine
is started, the yellow indicator light will turn off.
It acts the same way even if the engine is at normal operating temperature
and I perform a restart.
I replaced the glow plug relay with a new one and it did not fix the
condition.  Any suggestions?
